Ah. Thats it! I also see a fix in 4.54, am I right?

• "delay = yes" fixed to work even if specified *after* "connect" option.
• Multiple "connect" targets fixed to also work with delayed resolver.

Hi Matt,

Load balancing is incompatible with delayed resolver.  Remove "delay =
yes" from your configuration file.

I've got dozens of clients connecting with Stunnel to a group of 5 servers. Each system has a config that looks like this:

cert = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper.pem
key = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper.key
CAfile = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper_ca.pem
verify = 2
delay = yes
sslVersion = TLSv1
client = yes
setuid = stunnel4
setgid = stunnel4
pid = /var/lib/stunnel4/zookeeper.stunnel4.pid
socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1
TIMEOUTconnect = 2
session = 86400
debug = 5
[zookeeper]
accept  = 127.0.0.1:2182
failover = rr
connect = prod-zookeeper:2182
connect = prod-zookeeper-1:2182
connect = prod-zookeeper-2:2182
connect = prod-zookeeper-3:2182
connect = prod-zookeeper-4:2182
connect = prod-zookeeper-5:2182

Essentially the first host is a load balancer, and the next 5 are the actual zookeeper hosts so that we can bypass the ELB if its giving us fits. Now what we're seeing is that almost every connection ends up on prod-zookeeper-5. Over and over and over again, our hosts pick the same system each time. We're running Stunnel 4.52:

Clients allowed=8000
stunnel 4.52 on i486-pc-linux-gnu platform
Compiled/running with OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Auth:LIBWRAP Sockets:POLL,IPv6

Any ideas what might be wrong here? Obviously we want the connections to be *roughly* random across the list of hosts... and if one of the hosts goes down, and the connection fails, we want the stunnel service to try again, and randomly pick a new host. It doesn't really seem to be doing that though.
