Luis,
The only real model for dealing with persistence either in SSL environments
or plain HTTP is cookies. This is
not a Foundry limitation, just the nature of the protocols, applications and
infrastuctures which make up the
Internet :-(
One alternative is to use SSL Session ID as a persistence mechanism, but
this is often proved fruitless as
most browsers renegotiate the SSL ID periodically. There is a fix for this,
but only if you're in control of the
desktop of the user base, which it sounds like you're not.
Phil.

Subject: [load balancing] FOUNDRY SERVERIRON XL FAILED IP STICK
I recently setup our Foundry ServerIron XL for SERVER LOAD BALANCING. This
is the configuration we have
server real test1 65.165.34.11
port http
port http keepalive
port http url "HEAD /"
port ssl
port ssl keepalive
!
server real test2 65.165.34.12
port http
port http keepalive
port http url "HEAD /"
port ssl
port ssl keepalive
!
server virtual test 65.165.34.10
port http sticky
port ssl sticky
track-group http 443
bind http test1 http test2 http
bind ssl test1 ssl test2 ssl
The load balancing works great but I'm having a lot of problems with HTTP
and SSL sessions maintained to the same real server (STICKYNESS). It seems
to work fine with most of the websites but I'm having problems with users
coming from AOL. Now I heard of those problems before and I don't know if it
is due to the AOL mega proxy or the AOL browser. Does anyone know what could
it be happening. It seems that the IP stickyness doesn't works for these
site. Does anyone knows if Foundry supports another type of sticky feature
not based in IP address to maintain real server sessions ?
ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APRECIATED.
