john,

can you say more about "receiving no load at all"? for example, if you
restart one of the app instances in zone 4 or zone 5 do you see logs with
"cf logs"? you can target a single app instance index to get restarted with
using a "cf curl" command for terminating an app index [1]. you can find
the details with json output from "cf stats" that should show you the
private IPs for the DEAs hosting your app, which should help you figure out
which zone each app index is in.
http://apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/209/apps/terminate_the_running_app_instance_at_the_given_index.html

if you are seeing logs from zone 4 and zone 5, then what might be happening
is that for some reason DEAs in zone 4 or zone 5 are not routable somewhere
along the path. reasons for that could be:
* DEAs in Zone 4 / Zone 5 not getting apps that are hosted there listed in
the routing table
* The routing table may be correct, but for some reason the routers cannot
reach DEAs in zone 4 or zone 5 with outbound traffic and routers fails over
to instances in DEAs 1-3 that it can reach
* some other mystery

We map our dea's , dopplers and traffic controllers in 5 logical zones
using the various zone properties of doppler, metron_agent and
traffic_controller. This aligns to our physical failure domains in
openstack.

During a recent load test we discovered that zones 4 and 5 were receiving
no load at all, all traffic went to zones 1-3.

What would cause this unbalanced distribution? I have a single app running
30 instances and have verified it is evenly balanced across all 5 zones (6
instances in each). I have additionally verified that each logical zone in
the bosh yml contains 1 dea, doppler server and traffic controller.

Thanks,
John
