Will round-robin load balancing do fail-over of connection from the web connector?
I've configured our servers to do round-robin load balancing. However when I kill one of the servers after making a connection, the web connector seems to keep me stuck to that server. Subsequent request from the same browser get an error that no server is available at xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.
However when I switch to component based load balancing, killing a server does whats expected and routes my request to the next available server.
Is it broke, or am I expecting the wrong thing. My components are set sicky currently. (So I would almost expect the first result but got confused when I received the second.)

Failover does work with round robin. I'm not sure I have any good ideas about what is causing your problem. (I've never seen a situation where failover works with one loadbalancing methodology and doesn't with another methodolgy. I would have thought such a situation was impossible).
But I can say that I've tested lots of clusters with failover and round robhin.
Hi,
Well I think you must have set the sticky bit on and that's the reason
why the request looks for the same app server. Also check that the module
is distributed and is available in all other servers in the DSync cluster.
