Hi Mark,
Yes we are still having issues.
Following are Load Balancer Detail
Device Make: Radware
Device Model : Appdirector-8016
Following are the Methods available in the load Balancer being used in my
Environment, I don't see any HTTP Method.
Methods to check Apache Starts
****************************************************
TCP Port Connectivity Method
=============================
When this method is selected, AppDirector attempts to connect to the
specified application port by completing the TCP three-way handshake,
which includes the following steps:
1.AppDirector initiates a request by sending a SYN packet.
2.The server sends a SYN-ACK packet back to AppDirector.
3.AppDirector sends a FIN-ACK packet to the server, completing the TCP 3
way handshake and requesting to terminate the connection.
4.The server replies with an ACK packet followed by a FIN-ACK packet.
5.To close the connection, AppDirector sends an ACK packet to the server.
Disabled Connectivity Method
============================
Connectivity checking is disabled. If no farm connectivity checks are
performed, AppDirector considers all servers to be available by default.
If farm connectivity checks were performed
and then the Connectivity Method becomes disabled, the status of the
servers remains the same as it was the moment the checks were disabled. If
connectivity checks are disabled, and a server renews its activity after a
failure, this server is still regarded by AppDirector as not available.
UDP Port Connectivity Method
============================
When UDP Port Connectivity Method is selected, AppDirector attempts to
connect to the specified application port, according to the UDP protocol.
Ping Connectivity Method
========================
AppDirector pings servers to verify valid communication. AppDirector
performs this by sending an ICMP echo request to the server. If a server
is available, it sends an ICMP echo reply. When a Ping fails, the server
is down.
