    Hi everybody, I need to replace an nginx load balancer with an ISAM VA load balancer to manage load balancing between 2 ISAM reverse proxies.
    Which load balancing algorithm should I choose to get Session persistence (stickiness) maintained by cookies?
    Does anybody can give me a clue?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    David,
     
    If you want to maintain session affinity via session cookies you won't need to muck with the load balancing algorithm as this just determines which server receives the initial request.  In order to maintain session affinity you need to ensure that you configure the load balancer as a layer-7 load balancer.  In the UI you also need to specify the name of the cookie which will be used to maintain affinity.
     
    I hope that this helps.
