Ok I have read through a bit of the documentation and the mail list . . .
BUT before I really get started with this project I need to make sure my
idea is valid . . .
I am involved in maintaing a service that currently supports about 20,000
email users . . . new email users are being added at a rate of about 150
people per day . . . currently the server is starting to feel the effects,
but it does have some room to grow (2nd CPU, more RAM, etc) . . . but I want
to maintain a lead time WAY ahead of the email resource curve . . .
The services we want to provide are POP, IMAP, and web based retrival of
email . . . and of course also provide web and ftp services utilizing a
cluster . . . I know the www and ftp issues are well covered (they are
discussed in the docs I have read) . . . but can LVS handle any type TCP
connection? such as IMAP and POP? . . . (given the users email directory
only resides in one common directory via NFS or some such solution) . . .
Is this a valid situation to implement LVS?
More to the point . . . is anyone currently providing such services and if
so can you please provide a few pointers, things to watch out for, issues???
Thanks
