Hello:  
I have two service-group,(servers X and sorry servers). When my primary service-group fail (all servers down) sorry server respond in other service-group (this step is okay) but when primary service-group came back, I (have) need to wait about 8 minutes (that time is a configuracion for sticky in primary service-group). There are some configuration for not consider “the sticky (template source IP)” in the service-group backup (sorry) and could connect immediately when my service-group primary came back.

this is a example of my configuration:

```auto
-----------------------------------------------------------

```

Primary service-group:

```auto
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

```

Aflex

when LB\_FAILED {  
pool cluster-sorry

```auto
\}
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

slb template persist source-ip sticky\_prueba-saamatricula
   match-type service-group

```

timeout 3

slb virtual-server VIP\_cluster-prueba-saamatricula 172.X.X.X  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;extended-stats  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;port 443 tcp  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;name XXXXX

```auto
      access-list 100 source-nat-pool source\_nat 
      service-group cluster-prueba-saamatricula

```

extended-stats

```auto
      ha-conn-mirror
      template persist source-ip sticky\_prueba-saamatricula

```

aflex SORRY

```auto
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

```

sorry server

slb virtual-server VIP\_cluster-sorry 172.X.X.X  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;extended-stats  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;port 443 tcp

```auto
      access-list 100 source-nat-pool source\_nat 
      service-group cluster-sorry

```

extended-stats  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ha-conn-mirror  
I need I help with that please.  
regards.

Looking at your configuration, the traffic will remain to take the “Primary Service-Group” path as the aFlex is bound on that VIP. The aFlex will failover to the “Sorry Server” and the template persist source-ip feature will also take in effect. The Source-IP config might be causing the 8 mins persistence problem(default is 5 mins). You can try to adjust the timeout to 1 minute and see if the failover delay makes a difference.

slb template persist source-ip sip  
timeout 1
