#1214 Server status reset in failover might cause an infinite loop
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by jhrozek.

A server status in fail over is reset from "not working" to "unknown" after an interval, which is currently hardcoded to 30 seconds. This might be a problem when it takes a long time for individual server tries.

For example, the default krb5_child timeout is 15 seconds, so when there is more than 2 servers in the fail over chain, the first server is always reset to the "default" state when the back end completes a full cycle over the servers.

We should modify the fail over (or the be_fo_ wrapper) to only allow one full cycle over the server list.
