Topology Records and WideIP vs. Pool Based Topology Decisions

Hi Brian, When using topology based load balancing you have to specify the requesting source and the destination. As long as you only have topology based load balancing selected it works as per your expectations but when you select the second and third method of load balancing and the first option of Topology load balancing fails it moves down and try to get the reply via other two methods of load balancing so that is the reason why you get the different responses or unexpected responses. I hope this explains your question.
