Ya, LVS has performed for us like a champ.. under higher volumes, I have had some problems with wlc.... for some reason LVS freaks and starts binding all traffic to one box... or at least the majority of it.. it is really wierd... but as soon as you switch to using wrr then everything worked fine... I have been using LVS for about 4 months to manage our E-Commerce cluster and I haven't had any problems other than the wlc vs wrr problem...

There is only one suggestion I would make, and that is to clean up rotating boxes into the cluster when using wlc.... I don't use wlc anymore but when I was, as soon as I rotated a new box into the cluster (we have around 900 SSL sessions per machine on average) the new box got ALL the new traffic.. and if you are using SSL, that is some serious key generation munching. I know I could do it my tweaking the weights to rotate it in gently.. but I am far to lazy..er I mean busy.

I would have to give LVS a big thumbs up! Yet another step forward for linux and one step closer to WORLD DOMINATION ;)

be disappointed like expecting the big F5 bubble to give you light cause
with LVS ther WON'T BE ONE TO BEGIN WITH!

Other then that I just remember a post from someone at Real networks
saying they've tried everything and lvs kicks butt across the board.
