Thanks for the info.Is it possible to keep the TTL value as infinite.I mean
the load balancing need to be done only on basis of Client IP I don't want
any dependency with TTL value.

Secondly what is the logic for ip-hasing here as I tried to send request
through different ip addresses like 10.146.163.72 and 10.146.161.143 but
both of them go routed through same Backend (10.146.163.30). Expected result
was it should be routed through different backend.

I have given below the configuration.Any help would be very much
appreciated.


User        "daemon"
Group       "daemon"
#Daemon 0
#LogFacility -
LogLevel 2
ListenHTTP
            Address 10.146.163.31
            Port    80

            Service
                BackEnd
                    Address 10.146.163.30
                    Port    81
                End

                Session
                Type    IP
                TTL   300
                End
            End

            Service
                BackEnd
                    Address 10.146.175.136
                    Port    82
                End

                Session
                Type    IP
                TTL    300
                End
            End

        End

Thanks,
-R
