Horizon native redirecting?

[FatPog]

Hi team

I have to upgrade this environment which does not conform to best practices and it has been a bit of a headache.
I am seeing some behavior that I do not understand.
There are two connection servers. The primary server, con1 resolves to  connect.mydomain.com.
I access the admin console via connect.mydomain.com/admin 

Now there is supposedly no load-balancer. But when con1 is down/disabled and I go to con2.mydomain.com/admin it redirects to connect.mydomain.com/admin.
What drives this behavior? I noticed that the config.properties file has a clientHost=connect.mydomain.com. Is that it or is there something else that drives it?

Cheers

I've seen this before, but I don't remember where.  And it is very frustrating.

I think this is set in the Connection Server properties in Horizon Admin.  Can you go into Horizon Admin, go to Servers -> Connection Servers, open each server, and post a screenshot of the Con1 and Con2 settings.  And post a screenshot of your locked.properties file on both servers?

Hello, 

1. In Horizon Console, select Settings > Servers.
2. On the Connection Servers tab, select a Connection Server instance and click Edit.
3. On the General tab, select the Enable Host Redirection option.

No enable host redirection option in 2111 it seems

Have attached screenshot of the connection settings.
In this environment there is one for internal, and another for external (behind UAG)

No settings in locked.properties other than default.

Do both servers have the same value entered for the External URL under Secure Tunnel?
