fun discussion. I think most hardware load balancers use the IP address, which is also one of the compliants many people have about them. Atleast if you ask Resonate, which makes software load balancing. I believe Cisco routers can also use session based load balancing, which gets around the performance issues of lots of traffic coming from a specific IP address. so does it mean you're going to implement support for Alias michael ? :) peter lin

It remembers client IP for a few minutes and redirects all the traffic from this IP to the choosen server. Of course the more jmeter guns the better, but sometimes the feature of assigning request's IP and ip aliasing could be practical (to me at least :)))) best regards Michal Kostrzewa --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
