The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hi,

We have a requirement where by two separate flows (but both contain SAME unique cookie information) need to be stuck to same real server. The workings are as follows:

1. User connects to one of the real servers TEST1 (10.4.145.73) or TEST2 (10.4.145.69) via VIP 10.10.10.10. A unique cookie is used eg 'JSESSION ID = 12345678'

2. The real server then may need to make a new connection from itself (eg TEST1) to same VIP 10.10.10.10 for another service (I don't know why this request has to go via VIP instead of just making the request to itself, but I'm told it must). However, the same cookie is used which was in first flow (eg from client to server TEST1 ie 'JSESSION ID = 12345678').

The problem is that the second flow (from server TEST1 to VIP 10.10.10.10 MUST be stuck to same server ie TEST1).

As far as I'm aware the CSS does NOT store client cookie information and therefore it cannot associate the two flows and link them to same real server.

I'm aware of arrowpoint cookie, but I don't think this will help in this scenario.

So 2 questions:

1. Can CSS store client cookie information in order to associate the two separate flows that have same cookie information?

2. If they cannot, is there any other method we could use to stick the second request to same server as first request?

Thanks in anticipation.

regards

Mark
