F5 stickness issue with end user

Hi,

 

I am doing the LB on F5 LTM for three application server (Weblogic). Time to time due to application issue, we are removing the server from the LB. While doing this users are still hitting the faulty server and causing the issue. We have to clear the user browser cache, java cache, restart the PC to send it to the next available server. I have configured the sticky session (source address) and on the POOL level i have configure to reselect next available server (Action On Service Down). But still i am facing issue.

 

Is there any way that end user traffic should not go to the faulty server without doing the manual job at the user level (Clear IE cache,java cache, restart of PC).

 

I am really struggling.

    When working with http protocol, Action On Service Down reselect doesn’t work.

     

    You should configure reset to close the client side tcp connection and force to open a new one!
