Hi,
I was justing browsing the HOWTO, when I stumbled upon this recent piece
of text:
Apr 2006: No-one has tried this, but it seems that the -SH scheduler
could replace persistence without the failover problems of persistence.
The -SH scheduler schedules according to the client IP, meaning that all
of a client's connection requests will be sent to the same IP. The -SH
scheduler has been around for a while, but it seems that no-one has
known what it did.
When I first started to toy around with LVS, I did just what is written
here: i tried to use the SH scheduler for "session affinity" at L7.
However, I had problems, that I posted to this list:
http://www.in-addr.de/pipermail/lvs-users/2004-March/011171.html
I never found a solution, and I finally decided that SH wasn't going to
work, and I set up an Msession server for "session clustering" and used
the RR scheduler. This setup works perfectly and is still in use today.
However, since Msession is hopelessly outdated, and its successor
(Mcache) doesn't seem to get off the ground, and I haven't found any
workable (open source) alternatives, I would really like have another
look at LVS persistence of some sort.
The question is: has anything changed in the SH scheduler in the past
two years, that could possibly have fixed the problems I ran into? I
suspect, since only No-one has tried using it, there's not a big chance
of that ;-)
Any thoughts?
Other suggestions, for example other session clustering solutions that
are worth looking at, ar also welcome.
Best Regards,
No-one
