Nodebalancer - Session Stickiness - Manipulate table or target?

development

Hi,

I have a Linode configuration with a nodebalancer and 2 or more nodes.

The nodebalancer redirect the requests in TCP mode with table session stickiness to the nodes.

In HTTP mode with HTTP cookie stickiness I can manipulate the cookie to go directly to another node.

Is it possible to manipulate (for debugging) the session stickiness table in TCP mode?

So that I can test the reaction of both nodes seperatly?

Best regards.

No, that's not possible. There's no access to manipulate the table in any way. Assuming the NodeBalancer is just for testing, you could switch it to round-robin with no stickiness, and then each connection would go to the next backend.

@snm:

Is there a reason to go through the nodebalancer in that case? Just go to each node directly. The overhead from the nodebalancer is miniscule.
