Hi Bloitus,

 

Since you have AutoSNAT with source affinity persistence on the workflow vip and pool you are basically going to see one connection gravitate towards a particular node.

 

 

I believe the easiest method to load balance them is to simply not have them directly balanced by the F5 such that one web server makes the requests directly to workflow node 1 and the other to workflow node 2. They would be indirectly balanced if that is all the workflow servers see. However, I am not sure if this is what you are looking for.

 

 

Let us know if you ever thought of going direct?
