No idea. It'll depend on the load balancer you're using. For the one we use, you just set the weight (we use a weighted scheduler) of the member to zero, without removing it from the cluster. It'll keep serving the sessions it already has until it's actually removed, but with a weight of zero, it won't be assigned any new ones. Once the session count is down, we actually remove it from the cluster so that it's impossible to access, do our stuff, and then add it back into the cluster with it's normal weighting.
We have a variety of server hardware in our cluster since we've continued to expand it over several years. The beefier machines have a higher weight so they get more requests than the less powerful machines. cheers, barneyb On 6/9/05, Douglas Knudsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hmm, learning something new today then...how do you set the server to stop > accepting sessions?
