When using FWMARK to assign real servers to virtual servers, how is
scheduling and persistence handled?

That is... In my particular example, I have:

216.69.196.0/22

All marked with an FWMARK of 1. I then have my IPVSADM setup as such:

Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port          Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
FWM  1 lc persistent 600
  -> nw01:0                      Route   1      0          0
  -> nw02:0                      Route   1      0          0

Now say someone connects to 216.69.196.1 and that goes to nw01.

Now say someone connects to 216.69.196.2...

At this point let's say that IPVSADM shows:

Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port          Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
FWM  1 lc persistent 600
  -> nw01:0                      Route   1      1          0
  -> nw02:0                      Route   1      0          0

Will this new connection to 216.69.196.2 go to nw02 because it has the least
number of TOTAL connections, or will it go to nw01 because for that
PARTICULAR IP both have 0 connections?

Now then say that the person who just connected to 216.69.196.1 makes a
connection (within the 600 persistence seconds) to 216.69.196.3. Will this
new connection go to nw01 because it's being persistent? Or will it go to
either server depending on the number of connections?

Here's what I think would be the best way to do things...

If multiple IPs are marked with FWMARK 1, LVS should consider them all one
entry in its active/inactive table. I don't believe that's how things are
currently being handled.

Any thoughts?
