Dear Stephan,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

You state that this is the easiest approach, so I can assume the possibility to overflow to another pool doesn't exist ?

 

Regarding the connection limit, the nodes also have other functions. But it's on different ports, does the connection limit only apply to the pool member (node) you set it on, or will it count connections for other pools/ports as well ?

Hi, there is no kind of build-in feature except the connection limit configuration. An alternative would be counting current connections in a table and evaluating it with every new incoming connection to decide about using the overflow pool resource. But that´s far more effort. Depending on setting connection limits on node (counting for all pool members using it) or on pool member (counts for connections only of pool it belongs to). Thanks, Stephan
