Hello Raj,
I think your question got answered already, but I wanted to give you
some extra advice. If you are running your application in a multi-server
environment and the app requires that all requests in a single session
come to the same server, you are asking for trouble.
For example:
- What happens, when one server is overloaded and the balancer removes
it from the pool? Or the server dies? Or you have to take it down for
maintenance?
- What happens, if the client changes the IP address between two
requests (this may happen sometimes and can be outside of the user's
control)
- What happens, if you have to restart pound?
What I am trying to say is, if there is any possbility to change the
appliaction, so that it doesn't need this kind of stickiness, you should
get rid of it. You'll be much happier afterwards, and your users as
well. Believe me, we went thru this as well.

Hi All,
Is it possible to have source ip-hashing method for load balancing in pound
load balancer server.
My requirement is to a VIP with four instances of listening port.When a
request comes from a client (different ip-addresses is possible) it should
be routed to any one of the instance. Even for subsequent requests from the
same client it should be propagated to the same instance listening port.
If I am not clear let me know.
Thanks in advance.
