APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
In a cloned Solaris environment:
.
When a clone is shut down: The Plugin detects that the
clone is down but does not flag the clone internally as
being unavailable.
.
Reloading the request from the current browser sessions does not
failover to another clone.  A new browser session will
direct the request to another clone.

Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server 4.0.3 users     *
*                 of the iPlanet webserver plugin with         *
*                 multiple clones.                             *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An unexpected return code from connect  *
*                      was causing the plugin to think the     *
*                      connection had succeeded when in fact   *
*                      it had failed.  This caused problems    *
*                      in the failover logic.                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The plugin would think that a connect() had been successful
when in fact it had failed.  This would cause failover to
not work as expected.
Problem conclusion
Modify the error checking on the connect to see when the
connect fails and allow failover to work properly.
