I'm trying to write a simple load-balancer. It works ok till one of servers (BalanceServer) doesn't close connection then... Client (ReverseProxy) disconnects but the connection in with BalanceServer stays open. I tried to add callback (#3) to ReverseProxy.connectionLost to close the connection with one of the servers as I do with closing connection when server disconnects (clientLoseConnection), but at that time the ServerWriter is Null and I cannot terminate it at #1 and #2
How can I ensure that all connections are closed when one of sides disconnects? I guess that also some kind of timeout here would be nice when both client and one of servers hang, but how can I add it so it works on both connections?
