I have seen this issue once, but not sure if it applies. We found out that when we load balanced 2 servers and uploaded the files using the HTTP method that while transfering a file it suddently shifted to attempting to transfer the file to the second server even though we had persistance enabled. So we introduced OneConnect and it finally worked. We didn't notice this happening until we started transfering large files.

 

However, you could determine this by simply looking at the packets using a sniffer on 2 of the servers and seeing what is happening when the files are transfering. Another method would be to simply shut off one of the 2 nodes and see if it behaves the same way.

 

These are just theories as I you have mentioned you have you are actually load balancing more then 1 web server.

 

Hope this helps
