Hi, in addition since this question is raised quite often i would like to add that one just need to consider the way how cookie based (hashing) persistence normaly works.
The SLB first needs to first read the Set-Cookie Header in the Response Header of a Requests. This implies that the return Packet must be send through the Loadblancer. In the next request, the SLB will reade the Cookie Header Field and lookup the Hashtable to ensure that the request is send to the same server which generated the Set-Cookie Header Value. Therefore this cannot work in DSR secenarios where the Return Traffic does not pass the Loadbalancer.
