Excellent, thank you Chris. I always use TCP as well, but this particular site occasionally gets hit by Digg, and until they get enough capacity in their cluster to support that (AKA - a few memcache servers), their web service does sometimes respond so slowly that the load balancer ends up flapping them back and forth.
Appreciate the fix being committed - I haven't used the snapshot builds before, but I'll check it out and ping you if I have troubles.

I've always used TCP for server load balancing configurations and suspect everyone else must as well (well, they are whether or not they realize it). I just committed a fix, it'll be in 1.2.3 snapshots built at least 2 hours from now or you can manually apply this diff. https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repos/mainline/commits/d38805bc18a69dda3b33ca3a193420ff656d33dd There is another issue where TCP is always selected when you edit an existing pool, haven't fixed that yet but will. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
