Question

I try to build a database failover (ASP classic) but I have problem with the setting: ConnectionTimeout.
I set it to 1 second but still the server try to connect to the first connection for more then 20 second.
I like the connection will be lost after 1 second so I can transfer the user to the second connection right a way.

Thanks,

I find a all most similar question as your here its link. Please read it. A snippet of it is here.

‘minimum’ delay of 13 secs comes from the lower TCP/IP layers which
retry any connection at least 3 times. This can only be modified in
registry (TCP/IP protocol parameters)
