Robin, you could try the following: First verify that my idea works, because various load balancers work differently: - Record a session using the load balancer - Look at the response comming from the load balancer. Do you see in it where the redirection goes to? If so, my idea is aplicable to you. Here is an example how it looked in one of my tests: =============================================================================================
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>302 Found</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Found</H1> The document has moved <A HREF="https://prodserver2.de.com/proj/startseite.htm";>here</A>.<P> <HR> <I>HTTP Redirector/1.2</I> </BODY></HTML> ============================================================================================= If the load balancer works that manner than: - Edit your .jmx file with a text editor and put in each http request but the first one the value ${server} for servername or IP, ${port} for port number and ${protocol} in the protocol field. - For the first request, the one to the load balancer, put the server, port and protocoll in as needed. - In the first request make "Follow Redirects" checked. - Put 3 regular expression extractors below (inside) the request to the load balancer: Protocoll: \<A HREF=\"(.*?):\/\/ Host: \<A HREF=\".*?:\/\/(.*?)/ Port: \<A HREF=\".*?:\/\/.*?:([0-9]*?\"> - inside the very next request put a User Parameters control and set the variables server, port, protocol to the values you have just extracted. You might need to add the "browser derived header" control to the first request. Good luck!

I think this is beyond the control of JMeter; DNS lookups are handled by the Java run-time. There may be some system properties that you can set to control this - check the JVM documentation. And if you do find anything, please let us know - or add it to the Wiki...
