Hi Patrik,

 

I looked over your suggestion again and I have a concern/question about using the LB_SELECTED tag. Will this rule only come into affect when a connection from the specified user-agent is initially opened?

 

Specifically, the issue we're seeing is that there is only one connection from the device, so to my thinking, the LB is only selected once, but a very large number of requests.

 

Does LB::reselect only work within LB_SELECTED, and if so, is there a similar function that would work under HTTP_REQUEST?

 

Thanks again! Jody
