Load Balancers not unbinding - Bug?
-
Hi,
We've found that a load-balancer virtual server is configured to point to a pool and then removed again the binding/virtual server isn't actually released.
Steps:
-
Configure Pool (example: 192.168.0.63,192.168.0.64)
-
Configure Virtual Server (example: 10.1.1.1:80)
-
apply the configuration
-
remove the virtual server
-
apply the configuration again
At this point, if a connection is made to 10.1.1.1:80, it will still forward the connection to the pool, despite having been removed.
If one power-cycles the box then the configuration is correct again.
I've checked http://redmine.pfsense.org/ and couldn't see any sign of this issue anywhere, is this the correct place to report bugs?
Secondly, is there a way of restarting the load balancer daemon manually in order for it to correctly unbind/rebind ip and ports again without restarting the entire box?
Thanks!

Some things in relayd require a full reload (kill/restart), but some require only re-parsing the config. Most of the changes made in the GUI only trigger that faster refresh, to minimize downtime.
You can always restart the service from Status > Services which will fully reload (stop/start) the daemon.
