In case of an HTTP server most of the data is from the HTTP server
to the client. And so the throughput is high , since the server to
client packets are directly routed from the server and not the LVS
Will there be any drop of throughput if I use LVS for a set of SMTP
servers. Because these SMTP servers are going to recieve mails , and
most of the packets are client to server. These packets have to routed
via the LVS only
Is there anyone already using LVS for SMTP servers
Thanks
