This would seem to make sense. The smtp feature I believe is a part of
ESMTP standard. I wish there was a way to turn that off. I guess I could
try 6.0 and see if I get the same behavior.
I starting using ab (Apache Benchmark) suggested by tc lewis and it seems
to give me the results I would expect from lvs.
Single machine doing 150 threads and 1000 fetches using ab results in
about 300 connections per second, over lvs across three machines results
in about 1200 - 1500 connections per second consistantly. Using http_load
produced completely unstable numbers.
