Trying to combine byLogWindow and bySession - no luck

Hello,

I try to figure out the best config for our
backhand cluster.

Two things have to be accomplished:
-Good distribution of load
-Session stickyness

So I tried:

byAge
bySession
byRandom
byLogWindow
byBusyChildren

The problem:
If the bySession directive matches, the server list will
contain one entry only. If this one-member list is processed
by byLogWindow, it results in a zero-member list
(seems to be a bug to me) -> user gets an error.

If I try instead:

byAge
byRandom
byLogWindow
byBusyChildren
bySession

there's a good chance not to catch the existing session, as the
hosting machine might have been dropped from the list by
byLogWindow

Any ideas anyone?

Tilman

The behaviour you are seeing in byLogWindow was indeed a bug. It has
been fixed in CVS. Use the CVS version.

Wow - that was fast. Works like expected now. Thank you!
