Member reselect based on member status

Thanks for your replies.

 

 

"New requests should not be sent to a pool member that's marked down." - Actually, it's new *connections* that will not be

 

established to a pool member that's marked down.

 

 

Same with the "Action on Service Down" setting. This setting seemed to affect new connections only, when I tested this. I will test this out again.

 

 

A little more on my situation -

 

 

The client establishes a connection and keeps it open, and sends many requests over time on the connection. The Server(HTTP) has an idle timeout on all connections, and closes it after 2 minutes of inactivity. The client sends a few requests per minute, which results in the connection being kept open forever.

 

 

This is a difficult situation - the server cannot be shutdown for maintenance with open connections, since there maybe in flight requests over a connection. The server is able to force a health check failure and the pool member can be marked down. However, this only prevents new connections to be established on the server but does not prevent new requests over an existing connection.

 

 

I would like to prevent new requests to be sent to the server, so the server can expire the connection when the idle timeout kicks in.

 

 

Ideas?
