Application server max clients weird behavior

[Cedric]

Hi,

I'm trying to limit the number of "clients" logged on the app server by using the "Max Total Clients" option.  There is no "client must login" set... So to my understanding, it should be the number of different IP address logged on that app server that "counts" has the number of clients?

I have one specific workstation, a sales rep on the road, that connects and disconnects often.  He also uses different internet link, so his ip changes often.  I'm thinking this is part of the issue?  He is unable to connect, receiving an error message saying that total max clients has reached.  There should be at least 3 available "clients" available based on the number of IP address connected to the server at that time.  I have to restart the app server to let him in...

Is it possible the "counter" isn't reset and the app server doesn't check the number of connections in real time on connection attempt?

What are your reconnect settings and what is the timeout. Could he be disconnecting not cleanly and leaving some sessions behind waiting for a reconnect?
