Hello all,

in my opinion the persistant flag is missing. As described in the introduction of this tutorial the load balancers also take care of connections/sessions.

This does NOT happen.

After I added the option "persistent" to ldirectord.cf it worked:

virtual=192.168.0.105:80
        real=192.168.0.101:80 gate
        real=192.168.0.102:80 gate
        fallback=127.0.0.1:80 gate
        service=http
        request="ldirector.html"
        receive="Test Page"
        scheduler=rr
        persistent=600
        protocol=tcp
        checktype=negotiate

600 means 600 seconds which also could be the default setting. In my opinion to short for stuff like forum software.

Maybe there is a easier way to handle this. Our setup is depending mostly on PHP and PHP session based stuff, so it did not work correctly before.

Kindest regards,
Martin
