loadBalancerSenderRedirectAddress is ignored

[kriborg]

Hi

Here is our config server.xml config:

<Property>
    <Name>loadBalancerSenderRedirectAddress</Name>
    <Value>192.168.1.50</Value>
</Property>

When checking the   Loadbalancer?ServerinfoXML the <redirect> is not updated.

<LoadBalancerServerInfo>
    <LoadBalancerServer>
        <weight>1</weight>
        <connectCount>1</connectCount>
        <outRate>4</outRate>

Hey!

I don't recommend setting loadBalancerSenderRedirectAddress in Server.xml at all, unless you need it for compatilibity reasons with other environments. (Step 4 at https://github.com/availo/wowza-vhost-loadbalancer#step-4-optional and step 5, right below.)

The setting should go in each VHost.xml file instead, since that's the only way to get a unique address per VHost. My loadbalancer version is probably trying to be too clever, and not realising that in some environments, the Server.xml setting is all you need - and will therefore ignore it even though it should be considered.

Let me know if it still doesn't work as intended if you move the setting to VHost.xml!
