Hello all,

 

 

After gathering stats for abt 20 hours, I suspect that the issue is one of the number of connections. In 20 hours, we've had a total of about 380 connections , split in a 5:1 ratio. Comparing this to our busier Pool, which has has 20 thousand connections over the same period, yields an explanation: a single connection in the quiet pool is completed 5 times out of 6 BEFORE a new connection is initiated. Thus, for 5 out of 6 connections, the 'first' server is given the request because there are no other connections. This is probably borne out by the fact that the busier pool is far more evenly dstributing the load between the two members.
