I just tested a solutions... You can indeed:
1) Check to see what the current action on service down for a given pool is set to
2) Set it to 'SERVICE_DOWN_ACTION_RESET'
3) Set the pool member state to 'STATE_DISABLED'
4) Set it's instance monitor to 'STATE_DISABLED'
5) Pause a few seconds.... (allowing for the reset reaping to run through it paces before you call it off!)
6) Reset the pool to its original action on service down value
via iControl, and you will reset the client side connections. I had 4 long lived TCP socket services working through a virtual and they all got TCP RSTs when the steps above were applied.
Again, if the pool action on service down is simply the default (None) setting the status of the member and the monitor will not cause established connections to reset.
Thanks,
John
