But we forgot to convert one caller, when the real server for connection is unavailable caller should put the connection reference. It happens only when sysctl var expire_nodest_conn is set to 1 and such connections never expire. Thanks to Roberto Nibali who found the problem and tested a 2.4.32-rc2 patch, which is equal to this 2.6 version. Patch for 2.4 is already sent to Marcelo.
