[f-nsp] bucket reassignment on failed health-check

[arne van theemsche]

Dear group

this is the 2nd problem we have on our foundry setup

we are using a VIP with persistent hash buckets (IP gets translated to 
value between 1-255, and value is assigned to real server)

each real server has a health-check policy assigned to it.

Meaning is, that if a health check fails (not only if the server or port 
fails) the buckets assigned to the real server get removed (this is ok)
if a healthcheck returns to a true value (server can be attached again 
to the VIP) we want the existing buckets to be reassigned to get a equal 
load. This is not done. Acutally notthing is done, we have to manually 
do a "port http clear-persist-hash-buckets"

the default behaviour is to reassign on change, but am I missing something?

relevant info below



server l7-hashing-bucket-reassign
server persist-hash-threshold 80 ### high number, are actually 12 
servers attached

healthck U1 tcp
  dest-ip 192.168.x.y
  port http
  protocol http
  protocol http url "GET /check.htm"
  protocol http content-match webcontent
  l7-check

server remote-name U1 192.168.x.y
 weight 1 0
 port http
 port http healthck U1
 port http url "HEAD /"

server virtual UPL-VIP 5.6.7.8
 sym-priority 200
 sym-active
 predictor round-robin
 port http
 port http persist-hash
 bind http U1 http U3 http U2 http U4 http
