Hi,
(Advance apologies for cross posting with UltraMonkey user list. Having
read my message back I think this mailing list may be more appropriate).
Could anybody advise me on the best way to approach configuring ldirectord
for our load balancing configuration.
We have 2 UltraMonkey load balancers with 5 virtual addresses
(10.10.11.180 - 10.10.11.185).
We have 2 real servers with 5 IP addresses each (10.10.11.150 -
10.10.11.155 and 10.10.11.130 - 10.10.11.135). The real servers have 5
addresses each to handle 5 slightly different versions of the same web
application (tailored for localities). Unfortunately this configuration
cannot be changed...
I have the following ldirectord.cf to handle this:
>checktimeout=10
>checkinterval=10
>autoreload=no
>logfile="local0"
>quiescent=yes
>
># Address 1
>virtual=10.10.11.180:80
> real=10.10.11.150:80 masq
> real=10.10.11.130:80 masq
> scheduler=wlc
> service=http
> protocol=tcp
> checktype=negotiate
> request="test.htm"
> receive="OK"
>
># Address 2
>virtual=10.10.11.181:80
> real=10.10.11.151:80 masq
> real=10.10.11.131:80 masq
> scheduler=wlc
> service=http
> protocol=tcp
> checktype=negotiate
> request="test.htm"
> receive="OK"
>
># Address 3
>virtual=10.10.11.182:80
> real=10.10.11.152:80 masq
> real=10.10.11.132:80 masq
> scheduler=wlc
> service=http
> protocol=tcp
> checktype=negotiate
> request="test.htm"
> receive="OK"
> ...
My question is, can I configure ldirectord to group the virtual addresses
and thereby only poll the 2 real servers? I'm assuming that with the
above configuration each real server address will be polled for activity
which is quite a bit of wasted overhead.
The above configuration works perfectly, but I just think there must be a
neater way to do it!
Thanks for any help,
Ralph.
