Immediately after sending this I remembered that there is a vendor form in Remedy that allows you to grab ar.cfg parameters through a setfield.the name of the form is 'Configure ARDBC'. So, I have written my workflow to do a set from that form on the 'Server-Connect-Name', this tells me the node J

It's a PITA at times, but doable. Beyond that you can test the nodes individually by connecting to them individually to troubleshoot/diagnose problems.

In production we have the following architecture Load Balancer 4 Mid-Tier Load Balancer 2 App So, any one of the 4 web nodes could be pointing to any one of the app nodes..so it would be nice to be able to pinpoint which node, both web and app a user is using.
