Hi !
 
Thanks to all for the tremendous work put in the project....
 
For me to use LVS in production, I must load balance 2 Apache web server using cookies....
 
Here's the bug....
 
To complete a transaction on our web site, the client must go through 5 steps.  The cookies is sent a the first step and the client is only under SSL at the fifth step.
 
Using the persistent port feature, I can garantee the client to be on the same server for the first 4 steps (on port 80). But at step 5, the client goes on SSL so how can I garantee him to stay on the same server as the 4 previous steps ???
 
The easy solution would be to go all 5 steps on SSL... but the overhead is so high that LVS would give us nothing.
 
Any idea on how to do a persistent "server" feature ???
 
Thanks
