What happens when LTM marks a node "down"

If I remember rightly, the 'reselect' option only makes sense for state-aware objects, like firewalls, or a pair of sync'd LTMs. I don't believe it will work for a standard server pool member.

 

 

Where are you getting that info from?

 

 

The standard defintion from Dev central can be found here;

I have not seen reselect to act like that in practice, at least on the 9.3.x branch of code..

 

 

I haven't tried it with a statefull device/traffic, only to actual servers running common protocols, non persisted..

 

 

It seems current connections are never reslected.

 

 

The only true way to move current connections immediately off the server is to use "reject" and send a tcp reset to the host to force them to initate a new connection.. maybe this is fixed in newer code? I will retest soon when we move to 9.4.8/10.x

 

 

Thanks!
