You probably need to turn on "sticky" in your load balancers. that way
requests from a single user will always get put to the same machine and
you'll have no probs.

Subject: RSTP/MMS and buffering Issues
I have an older server then two new servers set up to load balance via a
content switch.
I am getting very different results when I try to play the same clip either
from the single, older machine, which works great, and the load balanced
set, where it buffers like mad, every 5 seconds.
I spoke to our firewall guy and he says that when he pulls up the clip on
the single machine, an RSTP request is sent, then a UDP request, and then it
streams UDP, and works great.
the new machines an RSTP request is sent, then another, and perhaps a
third? and then it streams RSTP and buffers like crazy.
Here are the clips and what I see:
server
no buffering
Protocol displayed by Windows Media Player - MMS (UDP)
you have to fast forward 15 minutes to get to someone talking on this clip
(I usually launch via asx which cuts beginning out.)
Load-balanced cluster
v
buffers every 5 seconds
Protocol displayed by Windows Media Player- RTSP (TCP)
What am I doing wrong, or what should they change? I think he said that MMS
is not currently allowed to the new servers, but he feels that shouldnt
matter because the player requests RTSP first. (I would think it needs to
be allowed and assume it is just sending RTSP requests because it finds out
from the first request that MMS is not an option, but what do I know?)
