I found the issue... one of the farm IP's was in collision with a VM that was 
intermittently starting so I didn't originally see the ip as up or in use..

Thanks.

what kind of farm are you working with? TCP farms have a limit by default 257 
that you can modify if you need:

Max number of clients memorized in the farm.

Take a look to this field, maybe your farm is opening the max of tcp socket 
allowed, increment the value to 1024 for example and let us know.

Ok another interesting discovery...


The farm is up working and forwarding tcp socket connections from it's VIP -> 
backend, all of a sudden it stops forwarding.

- I use telnet to create a tcp socket from an external pc to the backend and it 
connects.
- I use that same external pc to telnet to VIP and it tries to connect and then 
it fails.
- From inside the Load Balancer I telnet to the backend and it connects.

This would indicate issue with network pertaining to VIP IP but......

I connect to a different tcp farm (same setup on same VIP but different port 
going to same backend)
And it works.... Eventually this working farm does the same

SO when the forwarding stops I stop the farm wait a second then start it... I 
still can't connect right away but after a few minutes the connections start 
working again..

Very strange.. It seems like I'm hitting some sort of forwarding connection 
limit or the LB is blacklisting me..

Steve it isn't a zlb version problem because the binary that do the load 
balancing is the same in both. It sounds like a network issue.

p.s.: You don't see down the backends in the moment that you run the farm 
because the lb only checks backends in the moment that it has to send a 
connection to the backend.

In our live environment I have zen 1.0 stable performing simple TCP 
loadbalancing between as asp.net<http://asp.net> frontend and a c# backend 
service on port 7000. This works fine and I couldn't be happier... I just setup 
a V2 stable env for testing and every time I try it I see after a few 
connections that the Farm / backend in the LB stay green and I can telnet to 
the backend on port 7000 but if I use the Virtual LB IP it states connection 
refused..... What would make the LB see the farm as up and the backend as up 
but stop connections via tcp? I see no errors in the logs and I see no 
connection debug messages when I try to connect just simply connection 
refused...

Also is it possible to download older versions of the iso's?
