How long do the pool members take to answer requests to /test.html? What is the interval and timeout on your HTTP monitor set to?

 

 

Ideally, you should set the interval to a value which is greater than the length of time it takes the pool member to respond to the monitor request. The timeout should be three times the interval + 1 second. Assuming the pool member responds in less than 5 seconds, the default HTTP monitor setting of 5 seconds for the interval and 16 seconds for the timeout should keep the pool member marked up (as long as the pool member is responding).
