I just got a simple idea to work around this problem. If the virtual
service is persistent, there is a persistent connection template like
<cip,0,vip,vport,rip,rport> or <cip,0,vip,0,rip,0> to guarantee that
all connections from the same client will redirected to the same
server. If the real server is down, there is no need to keep this
persistent template work, we could simply change the template to
<cip,65535,vip,65535,rip,65535>, then create a new template destined
for a new server.
Since the persistent template is the control of its connections, and
searching all its connection in the big hash table and removing all of
them together isn't feasible, we cannot simply remove the template.
Therefore, the above method sounds good.
However, I cannot work on it this Sunday. My professor wants a
document in Monday, so I have to write it today. I will probably work
on it and make a new webpage about persistence this Monday and
Tuesday.
Thanks,
