round robin and persistent

["ian" <ian.martins@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've found that when persistence is set (even if its set to just 1 second)
all requests from a single host are routed to the same RealServer..
Regardless of the time between requests. I expected that since it is set to
round robin, if there is a delay between requests longer than the
persistence value, the request would go to the next RealServer. Can someone
please explain.

I'm using an unpatched redhat 6.2 kernel. (2.2.14-5)

thanks.
