If I understand your setup correctly, you tell robots to contact the
server at address VIP, and you tell the server to bind to address S.
That will not work "as is" with Polygraph 2.5. In the next release,
you will be able to tell Polygraph that VIP actually maps to S.
Meanwhile, you can trick Polygraph by configuring a fake server agent.
That fake agent should be identical to the server agent you are using
now, but it should bind to the VIP address. That agent will never be
created (because you do not have polysrv running on the switch), but
it will trick Polygraph into thinking that VIP is a valid server
address:
Server srvReal = { ... }; // your current server configuration
srvReal.hosts = [ S ]; // real server address
Server srvFake = srvReal; // copy configuration
srvFake.hosts = [ VIP ]; // use VIP address
use(srvReal, srvFake);
This is a hack, and you may get some warnings/errors, but the test
should run OK. You should not use simple.pg for production tests, but
the same "fake server" approach applies to other workloads.

There will be a search engine when we move the Web site to
www.web-polygraph.org. The new Web site is ready and will go live with
the 2.6 release, any time now.
