Pool with Least Sessions LB Method having 2 Virtual Servers with different persistence methods
HI All,
I have a pool of web servers in which two types of traffic connects to. I have client traffic that I would like to persist with cookies, and I have internal web services traffic from other servers that requires source based persistance. I'd prefer not having these same systems in two different pools. I am considering using Least Sessions as the Load Balancing method, mostly to keep the internal web services traffic appropriately distributed. However, I am not sure what the effect will be on clients who come into this pool using a different virtual server that has cookie based persistence set? Will Least Sessions honor a cookie and distribute it appropriately if it come from a virtual server that is using cookie based persistence? Will it fall back to Round Robin Load Balancing for the first request from a client that does not have the cookie, but connects with the Virtual server that utilizes cookie based persistence?
Thanks in Advance,
Al
