Hello,
This is my first post to the list after having read
through some of the archived material. First off I would like to
complement the developers as it is nice to see Linux's( and in general free
software ) functionality growing by the day.
I would like to inquire about some of the LVS's
functionality.
A. Is it possible to limit the total number of
connections the the real sever to a non-power of 2? ie the value offered durring
kernel config. Perhaps by hand in the source code. ie 350?
B. Is it fesable for myself or other interested
parties to add some IP management functionality to the LVS. For example we
would be using the LVS to distribute load to an internal set of servers
and it would be nice to say network number xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is only allowed
a total of 10 connections. If there is a way to do this with out moifiing
the source it would be preferrable. We would be using VS-NAT for 4
HP9000s(now pushing 5 years old and only 10baseT). If a source modification is
the only way where would you suggest starting, I haven't looked through the
source much yet but I was thinking maybe before hashing the connection or
accepting it, but as I said I'm not fimilar with it's internals
yet.
C. What would you compare the current,
unmodified LVS, stabiltiy to? I have heard about www.linux.org and that basically sells
me.
D. What is the current connection timeout period
for VS-NAT?
