Sure, we need beta testers. :-)
I haven't begun to port the VS patch to kernel 2.2. Peter said that he
is porting the patch to kernel 2.2 and add the loadable load-balancing
module, he will release it next week. So, we wait for his kenel 2.2 patch. :-)
By the way, if your real servers run Linux 2.2.x (current versions), the
two request dispatching techniques (virtual server via tunneling and virtual
server via direct routing) won't work, because current kernel 2.2.x answer
all ARP requests for addresses of its interfaces except the LOOPBACK
and MULTICAST addresses.
Thank you,
Wensong
