Thank you, good information. I have small doubt..

 

 

If we keep persistence value to 2sec (persistence method is cookie insert) and connection timeout as 30 min(consider timeout on real server is same as well). So here when we open any connection and we keep it open for 2 min and again try accessing the page so it will be on the same server as its not timed out?

 

 

Also in the same browser if we open new connection it will go to new page as persistence value is only 2 sec and we have opened new connection after that?
