Hello, Thank you for your answer. We have been doing some testing today, and there is a solution but there is still a bug. If you look at my conf, we use "fork=yes", in the man it says : fork = yes | no If yes, ...... This will "increase response times to changes in real server status" in configurations with many virtual servers. ....... So one of my colleague thought about changing fork to "no", and it worked, with weight 0 or file in maintenance dir, server style stays with weight 0 after apache restart and a good check. It appears using fork, so it why I think there is still bug, I will fill an issue on github. Thank you again, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to lvs-users-requ...@linuxvirtualserver.org or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
