Question about Source IP Pesistence With Backup

[John Carter]

Hi,

I have found that if I use Source IP persistence with both backend servers
and a backup server. If the backend servers go down then I will be directed
to the backup server, as it should be.

However, my persistence is now change to be on the backup server and if the
backend come back online, my persistence with the backup is maintained.


<config>

listen    ip_persist 192.168.30.54:10240
    mode    tcp
    option    persist
    balance leastconn
    stick-table type ip size 10240k expire 30m
    stick on src
    server server1 192.168.30.30:10240 weight 1 check  inter 2000 rise 2
fall 3
    server server2 192.168.30.201:10240 weight 1 check  inter 2000 rise 2
fall 3
    server    backup 127.0.0.1:102040 backup
    option redispatch
    option abortonclose

</config>


Is there anyway of keeping the backup server from being persistent - when
using source IP persistence ?
