Hi Josh,

 

 

These are good questions. You could open a case with F5 Support to confirm this. But I believe you're correct on the first point that detach means the serverside connection is left open but logically detached for the current clientside connection so it can be reused by the current or other client connections for subsequent requests.

 

 

I think LB::detach called in HTTP_REQUEST causes a logical disconnect of any pre-existing serverside connections to allow for new load balancing/persistence of the current request.
