I think poundctl will show you the mapping of sessions to backends. --Alfonso -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Ma [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 3:00 PM To: Pound Mailing List Subject: [Pound Mailing List] how does session cookie work... Hi, I have defined 1 service with 3 backends. Session is tracked by cookie. At login time of the backend, each backend sets a cookie with a value of its IP address. My question is WHEN does Pound set its mapping of cookie value and backend server. Is this correct? client login request (no cookie yet) --> pound (round robin because of no cookie) --> backend backend (set cookie) --> pound (see cookie and map cookie value to backend) --> client What if I just restarted pound and the cookie value and backend mapping is gone. client request (with cookie) --> pound (see cookie but no mapping. so round robin. now does pound map the cookie value to the backend it is going to?) If so, the cookie value is not necessary the backend's IP address. I am asking this because I am see the cookie value in the HTTP header but pound is not sending the request to the backend I am expecting based on the IP address. Thanks.
