Hi all, I have a question regarding graceful shutdown in load balancing web servers. When a real server is gracefully taken out of service, the active sessions are allowed to complete and no new sessions are directed to the RS. I had always assumed that it meant session as in a user's web browsing session, that the user will be allowed to continue to access the same web server until he finishes his web browsing session, however long that may take. But I've been informed that graceful shutdown only allows the current layer 3 session to finish and that the next HTTP Get request constitutes another session and hence will be redirected to another available RS. So which is it?
Thanks for the help
