> Load balancer... is that set up to maintain connections, or will it, like IBM's > WebSeal, go to whichever server is next/least used in the middle of a connection? It's set to use "least connection" but there is only one server behind the virtual IP at the moment. I'm reasonably sure at this point that the Netscaler is causing the problem, because file transfers inside the LAN work fine, and we see this same issue on both physical and virtual servers. I just tested with a physical box to verify, and the same thing happens, transfer speed quickly drops to zero and stalls. I've got a ticket open with Citrix to hopefully get to the bottom of this. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen the Netscaler muck up a TCP connection from a client. The last time I dealt with this it was sending unwanted FIN packets to mail servers. Fun stuff.
