least-connections-member and least-connections-node

Least connections member can be viewed as sorting a list of pool members in a pool by the number of open connections (tcp/udp/etc.).

I would look at using least connections member mostly, but if you have a machine that takes the same type of data on multiple ports, say a server that hosts web sites different ports (say tcp/8000-8019), and each port is associated with a virtual server with pools referencing only 1 port, then least connections node on all of those pools may make sense.

How will it play, if we have Priority group activation in picture for a pool. Will in that case the connection move to the nodes in group with lower priority?

In our network scenario priority group activation works for active passive node scenario.

lets suppose there are 2 nodes in a virtual server and user wants to get the traffic on node 1. If in case node 1 goes down then traffic automatically moves to node 2.

In above scenario we follow below configuration steps :-

+create pool active_passive +select round robin method +select priority group activation as we want to make only one node active at a time +select node and set priority to the node

The higher the number, the higher the priority, so a member with a priority of 3 has higher priority than a member with a priority of 1.

+lets suppos node 1 has priority 2 ---so it will recieve traffic first. Once it goes down then only traffic move to the node 2 with lower priority.
