title: Abnormal behavior in apache load balancing
body: <p>I have a apache mod proxy load balancer with the following configuration 
  <code>NameVirtualHost *:5555 
  &lt;VirtualHost *:5555&gt; 
      ServerName localhost
      ProxyPass / balancer://dgraphs/ 
      ProxyPassReverse / balancer://dgraphs/ 
      &lt;Proxy balancer://dgraphs&gt; 
          BalancerMember http://172.16.23.232:15000 loadfactor=1
          BalancerMember http://172.16.27.87:15011 loadfactor=1 
      &lt;/Proxy&gt; 
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  &lt;Location /balancer-manager&gt; 
      SetHandler balancer-manager 
  &lt;/Location&gt;
  </code>
  I am getting an abnormal behavior in how apache load balancer is forwarding the query request to the balancer-members. Each Time I send a request to apache, it is sending 3 requests to the balancer members, one to one server and two to the other. On successive request this gets reversed, I mean to say it then sends Two request to the first server and one to the second. Heres' the snapshot of the balancer-member handler.</p>

  <p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B39N8ztL-yN3WHd3QVZRd0N0WjA/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">Request 2</a></p>
  
  <p>and this behaiviour repeats(+2+1, +1+2)</p>
  
  <p>Am I doning something wrong in the configuration or is there some kind of a delay because of which apache failsover and send request to second server and again to first server everytime?
  Please HElP!</p>
