Setting dynamic connection rebinding
Dynamic connection rebinding is a feature for those virtual servers that are
load balancing transparent devices such as firewalls or routers. Dynamic
connection rebinding causes any connections that were made to a node
address or service to be redirected to another node, if the original node
transitions to a down state. In this case, all connections to the failed node
that were made through the virtual server are moved to a newly-selected
node from the virtual server's pool. The new node is selected using the
pool's load-balancing algorithm. By default, dynamic connection rebinding
is disabled.
Note
This feature does not apply to virtual servers for non-transparent devices
because they usually involve application state between the client and server
node. This state cannot be recreated with a newly-selected node.
To enable, disable, or show the status of dynamic connection rebinding, you
can use either the Configuration utility or the bigpipe virtual command.
