Hi 0veracl0ud,

for OneConnect disabled virtual servers, you would still maintain a sticky connection to the selected node, till your client side connection is getting closed. The LB would only be performed for every new client connection...

To get a new load-balancing connection on each single HTTP request, you may have to turn off HTTP keep-alives in your homemade XML requester, or you may want to manually 

[LB::detach]
the backend connection on every consecutive request.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    LB::detach
}

Cheers, Kai
