We ran a very simple LVS-DR arrangement with one PII-400 (2.2.14
kernel)directing
about 20,000 HTTP requests/second to a bank of about 20 Web servers answering
with tiny identical dummy responses for a few minutes. Worked just fine.
Now, at more terrestrial, but quite high real-world loads, the systems run just
fine, for months on end. (using the weighted-least-connection algorithm,
usually).
We tried virtually all of the commercial load balancers, LVS beats them
all for reliability, cost, manageability, you-name-it.
