control which server gets queried?

[ktaylor_hsc]

Can I pick which server the odbc driver queries against? I thought
it queries one of the servers I was connected to with my Novell login, but
I have used a network sniffer, and for some reason it is connecting to
a server that that has much poorer performance than the others and queries
that took 15 seconds take over a minute now. This behavior just started
a couple of days ago and I can't figure out what changed.

I can't figure out why this server is being hit all of a sudden, it never
was queried in the past. I need to find a way to select the server
that gets queried. Thanks

Hi

The control doesn't include functionality to set the target server. But it
should be using your primary connection (the one with the asterisk in the
Novell connections -right click on N setting). I think I've seen that I
need to reload the driver after I explicitly change the primary connection.

I'm assuming that you're looking at packet traces? Because if the driver is
FIRST going to your primary server, and then being referred over to the
problem server, there may be a problem with the good server's ds. You might
run a dstrace on the good server in that case to see if it's referring.

Otherwise there might be a dsping request where for some reason the bad
server is responding first. Please let me know if setting the primary
connection and reloading the driver doesn't help.

Thank you
