For UDP datagrams, we still create entries for state with the timeout of
IP_MASQ_S_UDP (5*60*HZ) by default, then all UDP datagram from the same
source to the same destination will be sent to the same server. Therefore,
in some documents, I write a small note that we call data communication
between a client's socket and a server's socket {\bf connection}, no
matter it talks TCP or UDP protocol. :)
Wayne, you probably need to know the communication behavior of ntpdate,
then it will be easier to know why the ntp service doesn't work well with
least connection scheduling method.
Thanks,
