If a backend is going down - is there a way in pound to specify for an existing session to move a client to a different backend server?
It seems from the comment it might be possible to direct sessions to different backend servers but I don't see how to do so. johnh... ________________________________ From: Wayne Smith <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 9, 2015 9:27 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [Pound Mailing List] 503 Service Unavailable: Back-end server is at capacity It could be your settings for sessions are such that client is directed to same backend server each time http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man8/pound.8.html Regards Wayne From: John Hayward [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 09 December 2015 14:26 To: [email protected] Subject: [Pound Mailing List] 503 Service Unavailable: Back-end server is at capacity Hi pound people, We have a pound server which is serving up to two load balancers at Amazon - we are monitoring with icinga. We have noticed the "503 Service Unavailable: Back-end server is at capacity " message showing up in icinga. It appears that this is from pound. If so how does pound determine this situation? Since there are two backend servers is it the situation that an existing session which is connected to one of the backend servers is not able to communicate with the backend server? If not why does pound not direct to the other load balancer? Any insite on how to prevent these events would be appreciated. johnh... ________________________________ http://www.artscouncil.org.uk Arts Council England is the trading name of the Arts Council of England registered charity no. 1036733 The information in this e-mail is for the named recipient(s) only.
