persistence

[Bowie Bailey <Bowie_Bailey@xxxxxxx>]

If I start a service with:
        ipvsadm -A -f 1 -s wlc -p 180
and then change the persistence flag with:
        ipvsadm -E -f 1 -s wlc -p 180 -M 255.255.255.0
how does that affect the connections that have already been made?

If IP address 1.2.3.4 was connected to RIP1 before I changed the persistence
and then 1.2.3.5 tries to connect afterwards, would he be sent to RIP1, or
would it be considered a new connection and possibly be sent to either
server since the mask was 255.255.255.255 when the first connection
happened?
