I have tried Round Robin and it would work for a while and then under heavy load, we start to see the same issue with much more traffic going to Solaris Servers.

 

I have reduced the ide time to as low as 10 seconds but that does not help since these are active.

There appears to be a difference in how long it is holding connections between these servers and I just cant understand why.
