How to specify which of the webservers to target?

Hi,

I have a setup where i have 3 webservers, 01, 02 and 03, with webservices running on each.
We have a load balancer which sends the requests to a random server.

I have created test suite but i want the soap requests to be fired to the webservices on server01, not the load balancer.

How do i point my test suite to that server?
Ive tried playing with the "Bind address" property but it does not work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    Hi,

    Your load balancer should be setup to maintain sticky sessions and keep sending requests to same server after it establishes a connection with a particular server.
    The "Follow Redirects" Request Property may need also to be enabled.

    Thanks for the reply, ill check out that property.
    But this means the load balancer still decides which server to initially make a connection with. I am trying to cut out that decision and run my test suite on each server so i can potentially highlight any webservices issues on individual servers.
    e.g test suite on server 1 failed but passed on 2 and 3. So i know there is an issue on server 1.
    Does that make sense?
