We currently have the following configuration for our RHQ server:
 
Production RHQ Server 1 (Node A)
Production RHQ Server 2 (Node B)
 
BCP RHQ Server (Node C – different location)
 
We have an F5 URL that sits infront of all the nodes, and can point to any of them in the following scenario:
 
When an RHQ agent on a client windows box is configured, and the F5 GTM URL is used as the RHQ Server, the agent connects to Prod Node A (as that node is the primary active node for the F5 to point to).  If I bring down both Prod Nodes, I would think the F5 URL would connect the agent to the BCP Node C RHQ server.  But, it never connects to BCP, but rather in its logs shows it trying to connect to both Prod nodes and failing.  Is this due to the storage nodes in Prod being clustered (assumption)?  Why wouldn’t the F5 URL direct the agent to connect to BCP?
