Duplicated entry in persistent table

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how F5 persistent works.

 

 

I'm load balancing between two servers and I need the client pinned to one server. Sometimes, the F5 get a miss in the persistent table lookup and F5 forward the request to the other server and a duplicated entry is persisted.

The same behavior is seen when I use the JSESSIONID as persistent key

Is it a normal behavior? I have more evidence if someone needs to give me a response.

 

 

Thank you in advance!!

  • Hi Juan,

     

    Can you post your iRule that you are using for the persistence? Perhaps the code will reveal the issue for you.
