Unequal Load on Cache Servers

Dears, We have the followings being deployed:

1- Round Robin LB Algorithm to Balance the Load Among Cache Flow Servers.
2- Destination IP Persistence Option Enabled at the Virtual Server Port.
3- No HTTP Template Options are Enabled !

The problem is that the load and traffic at the cache servers is not spread equally, any thoughts of how can this problem be resolved ?

Can any one share how can HTTP URL Hash Switching option configured ?

    You may want to consider using a least-connection algorithm if you're enabling any kind of IP-based persistence. Be sure to apply a server template that contains a slow start directive, to protect yourself from newly enabled servers getting slammed by the least-conn method.

    Hello,

    Thanks cwoodfield for your opinion, I was thinking about implementing the followings:

    1- Least Connection LB Algorithm
    2- Destination IP Persistence with Service Group Match Type (to support URL Hashing)
    3- HTTP Template with URL Hash Switching Enabled.

    Any thoughts about this suggestion? Any one tried configuring URL Hash Switching and how can it be used in combination with Destination IP Persistence ??

    Many Thanks
