In a DR mode load balancer configuration with ipvsadm + keepalived, persistence_timeout n value making unexpected issues. I have two real servers configured (web - port 80) for testing purpose. When I enable persistence_timeout with 2 or 7200, always web request goes to one Real server. if I configure persistence_timeout 2, even after 2 sec or 2 min still the traffic diverts to only a one Real server. Once I disable persistence_timeout then Round Robin will start as expected.
What has caused that persistence_timeout value to divert traffic to a one RS? Should I use persistence_timeout ?
Thanks in advance Luke
