Hi,

 

 

Any time I try to use a virtual server (VS) I can't get things to work.

 

 

set conn [connect -timeout 2000 -idle 30 -status conn_status vs_main_icdb

 

 

But if I use a IP:port from one of the pool members in the 'connect' everything seems to work.

 

 

set conn [connect -timeout 2000 -idle 30 -status conn_status 192.168.3.100:1798 ]

 

 

any thought on what I might be doing wrong? I drives me crazy that I have to 'write' my

 

own load round-robin balancer looking a all members in a poop, testing the 'up' status and

 

then selecting one of them.

BTW there is a 275 byte leak on each sideband request case C1200124 any one else

 

seen this.
