OK then you don't need this force-persist ACL. Just use "option persist" and it will work. Force-persist is used to force the user to go to the server even if it's dead and does not respond. That's used for application deployment teams to be able to see the errors reported by faulty servers. "option persist" just ignores the dead server status, but if the connection fails to establish, it will be redispatched to another server, which is what you want for your users. By the way, I'm seeing that force-persist is not considered by RDP cookies. That's no big deal, we should just add it. Regards, Willy
