NimbostratusPersistence of session per cookie
Hi all, I am a beginner about the BigIp load-balancer and I have a question about the behavior of this one in a particular case of use. I have a BigIp configured to share traffic between two active servers (S1 and S2 for example) but the BigIp is also configured with the persistence of session per cookie insertion. What's happen when the BigIp receives a request with a cookie for the IP address of S1 server (for example) if the S1 server is KO? Will the request forward to the S2 server even the cookie containts the IP address of S1 server? Thanks a lot for you answer. Have a nice day. Michel

You are correct, the cookie will also be rewritten to S2 when the first server response (from S2) is sent back to the client. The client will then send a cookie specifying S2 on all subsequent requests.
mbadet_119292Thanks a lot for this answer. So if the application is statefull, we will have issues when the following requests will arrive on the second server ;-). It's clear in my mind. Best regards. Michel
