Hi,

 

Do you have an alternate load balancing method configured on your pool? Load balancing is based on static and dymanic options and server or path metrics. For both servers in Penang these are the same. Also for Santa Clara.

 

What are the statistics telling you? Is one server having more connection than the other one in the same datacenter?

 

Why don't you configure two pools? One for the Penang servers and one for the Santa Clara servers Configure the load balancing method on the wide IP as Topology and within the pools as Round Robin.

 

Regards, Martijn.
