Hi all,
we have an ASG 8.x with 1 interface uplink (lets say "Internet") and 1 interface downlink (internal network). We defined a load balancing service (generic tcp port 23500, warehouse system) and a server "group" (the "real servers") with 3 internal servers. The balanced IP address is the external interface of the ASG. Everything is fine, BUT... :p
... we can have 1 client (a customers machine) opening a bunch of connections to the balanced (ASG external) IP. The problem is, that the customers machine will open the 1st connection on internal server 1, and all following connections are also opened on server 1. We woud like to balance each connection, regardless of the source IP address, to our 3 internal servers.
We found the "interface persistence" checkbox (where you can also configure some metrics) in the load balancing rule editor. We unchecked this and tried again, but again: Hundreds of single connections from the external machine are all (not) balanced to the internal server 1, the other 2 internal servers are empty.
If we have another customer machine (different source IP) coming to our balanced IP address, this machine will be balanced to internal server 2 - and also: ... stays there, even if this machine also opens hundreds of parallel connections.
Any hints?
