Why doesn't -d clear the persistent routing/timeout info?

[Mark Swanson]

Hello,

I have a question regarding persistent connections.
When I take a machine offline via:
/sbin/ipvsadm -d -t machineA:http -r machineB:http

Everything works mostly fine. If I click 'reload' on a browser window 
that had previously connected to machineB it hangs, but clicking 
'reload' again connects to a different machine in the cluster and all is 
well.

However, after I'm done doing maintenance on machineB and I bring it 
back online via:
/sbin/ipvsadm -a -t machineA:http -r machineB:http -m -w 1

Then the machine instantly has 65 ActiveConn, 138 InActConn. It's as if 
the persistent connection information wasn't removed when I did ipvsadm 
-d previously.

If I wanted the persistent connection information to be cleared for a 
particular machine that I've deleted, is there a way to do that?

Thank you.
