Outbound load balancing, session cookies and sticky outbound flows
-
Is there a method to bind outbound flows to a give site/IP to a particular multi-wan channel?
Otherwise web sites that track IP in sessions cookies will constant expire connections.

I was told a few months ago that sticky connections didn't work yet. Has that changed?

Last I heard they worked on 2.0 but did not work on 1.2.x

Thanks. I'm wondering if it should be on by default.

Do the sticky connections work at you?

Here it did work if i'm fast enough with browsing. If i don't do about 10 seconds anything on the website, it didn't work at all. Eg typing in username/password for eg a forum was quite difficult :)

Sounds like it is not working or not turned on. That is a classic example of source IP flipping causing the auth cookie for a forum to reset.

I've set it on, but it could be that it isn't working.
For a forum or a directadmin session, that's quite allright. But not for my homebanking. But i did the work-around (see my topic) and well…we'll see if that does the job :)
