IPlanet sticky load balancing question
We have two iPlanet Application Servers v6.0 sp3 and two iPlanet
Enterprise Web servers v4.1. All machines are on the same domain name.
All machines point to the same LDAP server. The application has been
installed on both App servers. Clustering has been configured in the
App server Admin tool to be based upon system load. For non-sticky load
balancing, all works fine, and session information is carried over
properly. However, for sticky load balancing, hits going into either of
the Web servers do not always go back to the App server that first
started the session.
The online iPlanet documentation says it can be done, but we have found
differently. Has anybody else gotten this to work?
Thank you,
David Shade

Hi David,
With sticky load balancing enabled, when you execute the application first
time it will go to any kjs depending on your load banancing criteria which
you set (Round robin or server responce or whatever), this applies to only
for the first time when you send request, afterwords it will be executed in
that perticular KJS process only till that KJS is alive, whatever may be
your LoadB creteria.
You please kill that kjs and see, you will be able to see the failover.
Feel free to mail me for any further information.

Hi,
What method of load balancing technique have you following. Did you
restart the server after enabling the sticky bit ?
