Symptoms

When a pool is used with a non-translating virtual server, routing updates may lead to an incorrect lookup of the nexthop for the connection.

Impact

Connections may fail after routing updates. New connections will not be affected.

Conditions

-- Pool on a non-translating virtual server. -- Routing update occurs.

Workaround

Use a route to direct traffic to the ultimate destination rather than using a pool to indicate the nexthop.

Fix Information

Routing updates no longer interrupts traffic to connections using a pool member to reach the nexthop.
