Persistence/Stickiness

If connecting from a client to the GEO LoadMaster directly the GEO LoadMaster keeps a persistence entry for the request. If connecting from a DNS server to the GEO LoadMaster directly, the GEO LoadMaster keeps a persistence entry for the request as does the DNS server. For troubleshooting, ensure to set stickiness on the GEO LoadMaster to 0 and clear the DNS cache on the DNS server.

To clear the DNS cache on a Windows server, run the following command:

c:\> Dnscmd  /clearcache

Always test with the nslookup command or the dig command directly against the GEO LoadMaster to confirm the results.
