Raghav, We're you ever able to configure this or get any documentation? We've tested this a couple times and are running into some issues with our proxy.

We are using Blue Prism with F5 load balancer and it does seem to work. Saying that, we are still trying to fine-tune the settings, because while it does work, clients are not being evenly balanced across servers. I will be curious to hear if you managed to get load balancing working correctly for you. Thank you

We noticed a similar situation to what you describe, @LevanKvachakhia. If the primary was temporarily down, new connections would route to the secondary and hold that resolved IP until they were forced to reconnect (usually by restarting the listener), even if the primary had come back online.

If you have a failover cluster for your DB, that seems to be the most reliable redundancy scenario so far, assuming you connect the resources to it directly instead of jumping through the application server.
