further requests are still getting forwarded to that server. Is it
because <code class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2378">retry</code> was set to only 1 sec in our configuration? What does actually <code class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2380">retry</code>
specify. Does that mean that once a host is in error state, do not send
further requests to that server till the number of seconds was set to <code class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2382">retry</code> value. If that is the case setting the <code class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2384">retry</code> value to a higher number can be a better option for us. We can set it to a value which will be enough to resolve the bad node. <br></font></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2576" class=""><br></div><div class=""><br></div><div class=""><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2515">Please suggest .</font></div><div class=""><br></div><div class=""><br></div><div class=""><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2515">Thanks in Advance</font></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2666" class=""><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451899155925_2515">Zaman<br></font></div>
