HI Emilio,

My apologies - you are correct. That section should rather read:

<SNIP>

My test configuration is simple:
192.168.0.10 - the Load Balancer virtual IP accepting connections on port 80
192.168.0.11 - Active Web Server 1 accepting connections on port 80
192.168.0.12 - Passive Web Server 2 accepting connections on port 80 (should -only be accessed when server 1 fails)

The configuration used for my test server farm:
- Profile: TCP
- Server 0: 192.168.0.11, Port 80, Weight: 0, Priority: 1
- Server 1: 192.168.0.12, Port 80, Weight: 0, Priority: 2

<SNIP>

Thanks for noting that!

Server0 and Server1 have the same ip and same port. Is it a mistake writing the mail ?

    Hi Everyone,

    I have been working with Zen Load Balancer (V.2, latest stable
    release) and have been trying to configure a simple server farm to
    allow for the use of an active-passive cluster environment.
    According to the administration guide offered on-line, 'Priority'
    is the suggested algorithm to use in my server farm, quoted:

    "Priority – connections to the highest priority available. Balance
    all connections to the same highest priority server. If this
    server is down, the connections switch to the next highest server.
    With this algorithm you can build an Active-Passive cluster
    service with several real servers."

    Based on my readings and logical thinking, I have also disabled
    the "Enable client ip address persistence through memory" setting
    in the profile options.

    My test configuration is simple:
    192.168.0.10 - the Load Balancer virtual IP accepting connections
    on port 80
    192.168.0.11 - Active Web Server 1 accepting connections on port 80
    192.168.0.12 - Passive Web Server 2 accepting connections on port
    80 (should -only be accessed when server 1 fails)

    The configuration used for my test server farm:
    - Profile: TCP
    - Server 0: 192.168.0.11, Port 80, Weight: 0, Priority: 1
    - Server 1: 192.168.0.11, Port 80, Weight: 0, Priority: 2

    When running some tests on the configuration I do not get the
    desired results. I would expect all connections to be sent to one
    of the servers, and only when the active server stops listing will
    connections be sent to server 2. Instead, I can see connections to
    both servers, very similar to 'round-robin' or 'weighted' algorithms?

    Initially I also created a server farm using the HTTP profile, but
    I note that the 'Priority' algorithm is not available, hence my
    resultant use of the TCP profile for my test farm.

    I have also configured and attempted to test the same setup using
    V.3 of Zen Load Balancer, but the results are the same. (I also
    note some bugs in V.3 which is expected as this is still a release
    candidate anyway :) )

    Does someone perhaps have some pointers that I can follow in
    getting my server farm to work as described above, or am I
    attempting to achieve something that Zen Load Balancer does not
    support?

    Many thanks for your responses and help.

    W ;)
