[Bug 53646] New: Invalid uniformly distributed balancing of requests when loadfactor of balancer members is equal

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53646

Priority: P2
Bug ID: 53646
Assignee: bugs [at] httpd
Summary: Invalid uniformly distributed balancing of requests
when loadfactor of balancer members is equal
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Solaris
Reporter: Holger.King [at] de
Hardware: Sun
Status: NEW
Version: 2.2.22
Component: mod_proxy_balancer
Product: Apache httpd-2

JSESSIONID cookie suffixed by Apache2 2.2.22 load balancer

Dear HTTP community,

currently, we're having the following Apache 2.2.22 web server configuration to
allow a uniformly distributed balancing of HTTP requests to the two running
Apache Tomcat instances behind.

Both Apache Tomcat instances are located on invidual but identital physical
hardware.

The configuration looks like:

<Proxy balancer://fs4_javaclient_over_https>
BalancerMember ajp://rb-wcmstc1.de.bosch.com:8009 loadfactor=50 ping=5
retry=10 route=rb-wcmstc1 connectiontimeout=5 timeout=300
BalancerMember ajp://rb-wcmstc2.de.bosch.com:8009 loadfactor=50 ping=5
retry=10 route=rb-wcmstc2 connectiontimeout=5 timeout=300

ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid
ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
ProxySet scolonpathdelim=On
ProxySet nofailover=Off
</Proxy>

<Proxy balancer://fs4_webclient_over_https>
BalancerMember ajp://rb-wcmstc1.de.bosch.com:8010 loadfactor=50 ping=5
retry=10 route=rb-wcmstc1 connectiontimeout=5 timeout=300
BalancerMember ajp://rb-wcmstc2.de.bosch.com:8010 loadfactor=50 ping=5
retry=10 route=rb-wcmstc2 connectiontimeout=5 timeout=300
ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid
ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
ProxySet scolonpathdelim=On
ProxySet nofailover=Off
</Proxy>

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/balancer-manager
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-*
RewriteRule ^/(.*) balancer://fs4_webclient_over_https/$1 [proxy,last]


Now, what happens:
- initially, balancing is - as expected - uniformly distributed
- after a while, the balancing behaviour changes on one of the two balancing
members

If we restart the Apache2 2.2.22 web server the problem has gone - for a short
moment. This could be proven, when taking a closer look to the JSESSIONID
cookies suffixed by Apache2 with the "route" value of the "BalancerMember".
Details see screenshot attached!
