I have two backends. I have pound set up to use Session Cookies (JSESSIONID) for determining stickiness.
I have 10 incoming sessions (each with a unique JSESSIONID). 8 of them are assigned to the first backend. 2 are assigned to the second backend. Why? Why would it not assign them with a 50/50 load? Half to the first and half to the second. The backends already had load that was not even. One was slightly more busy than the other. But how does pound determine which backend to pick when a new session comes in? The problem is this is a heavy weight process, and with 8 of them on my first backend, it's going to melt my first backend, while barely touching the second one. And since I've got session affinity with JSESSIONID it's going to keep sending the first 8 to the first one and the other 2 to the second one. -b
