Hello!I'm testing load balancing between four nodes placed in two distinct machines (2 + 2). The load balancer is on the first machine, where nodes 11 and 12 are. Nodes 21 and 22 are on the second machine. When I reboot the second machine, the load balancer detects the error and redirects all new requests to nodes 11 and 12 only, until the nodes on the second machine are up again. This is all very good, the only problem is what happens in the critical seconds. Clearly, a few sessions will fail (those already started but not yet finished on nodes 21 and 22 when the second machine is rebooted). When this happens, the log shows that for 1-2 seconds no requests are managed (including those on the first machine!). This goes to the point that even if I launch an automated ping (10x a second) on the first machine, the pinging is not logged during the critical seconds.
Real example (requests per second logged in access_log): 100 112 102 92 32 <-- CRISIS 0 <-- PEAK OF THE CRISIS 3 <-- CRISIS 25 <-- CRISIS 55 <-- RECOVERY 98 93 101 What can be the reason for this behaviour? Thank you very much for your help.
