Bluecoat Proxy Loadbalancing

I am load balancing 2 bluecoat proxy servers. I am using dest_addresss for persistance and least conns [member] for load balancing. Load balancing is not happening - all the traffic is going to the second node in the pool and nothing to the first node. Monitors are working OK and both nodes are green.

 

No idea why this is happening.

 

any help ?

 

cheers

  • Hi,

     

    dest_address persistence will persist on destination address.

     

    Destination address of the request is the IP address of the virtual server.

     

  • For basic persistence use Source Address, that will use the client's IP address as the identifier in the persistence table.

     

  • Cheers thanks for that. So if i change the persistence, what will happen to the existing sessions will they be kicked off/lose connection or will they remain as is and new connections be afected ?

     

    Thanks in advance.
