Hi,
I am reading your email again (at a more sane time)... and this user space
programming sounds really good.
Maybe run something that checks the traffic going on...
Monitor the real servers and number of connections, age of connections...
Check the CPU usage of the real servers...
Hmmm...
It would, however, mean that the LVS kernel module will need to be changed
to look at the /proc filesystem for scheduling info... would this be
problem Wensong? And of course, it must then require another (daemon?) to
be running even to use simple RR scheduling.
Thoughts anyone?
