Hello: We're noticing some unexpected behavior regarding load balancing with our FreeBSD 6.2 server running PF.
We have a pool set up for a two-server cluster: table <web_183_roundrobin> persist { \ 192.168.1.183 \ 192.168.2.183 \ } web_183_ext="xxx.xxx.xxx.183" And the following rdr rule to handle it: rdr on ! $vlanX_if proto { udp tcp } from any to $web_183_ext port { 80 443 } -> <web_183_roundrobin> round-robin sticky-address It's working - too well. We're noticing that it's round-robining not only based on the IP address, but the port as well - connections from the same machine to ports 80 and 443 are hitting different servers: self tcp 192.168.1.183:80 <- xxx.xxx.xxx.183:80 <- yyy.yyy.yyy.80:53601 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 self tcp 192.168.1.183:80 <- xxx.xxx.xxx.183:80 <- yyy.yyy.yyy.80:53602 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 self tcp 192.168.1.183:80 <- xxx.xxx.xxx.183:80 <- yyy.yyy.yyy.80:53603 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED self tcp 192.168.2.183:443 <- xxx.xxx.xxx.183:443 <- yyy.yyy.yyy.80:53604 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 self tcp 192.168.2.183:443 <- xxx.xxx.xxx.183:443 <- yyy.yyy.yyy.80:53605 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED Is there any way to set this so that a given client IP will hit the same server in the pool, regardless of port?
