Action On Service Down vs LB::reselect

Action on Service Down mainly effects existing connections to the server going down. You have three options - do nothing, send a reset to the client, rebind the connection to another server.

 

 

LB::reselect can be used when the initial connection to a server does not connect (EG: in the LB_FAILED event). This allows you to override the destination of the incoming connection upon a failure - not reselecting will result in a reset to the client.

 

 

So, these two methods apply to different situations and aren't mutually exclusion.

 

 

HTH.
