Thanks for the info Robert..
That's nice to hear as I've been spending time coming up with a way to do
distributed balancing of all the vs servers.
So.. one question.. how did you test?
I'm curious because from what I understand a cisco localdirector is very
speedy at only one connection but when you have several hundred/thousands
of connections going at the same time it slows down significantly.
(To the order of only handling 10mbit reliably from what I understand..)
I don't know if that's true yet because I haven't tested, however it would
not surprise me.
