That's a good idea too, but I don't think that's exactly what I was talking
about.
What I was asking about would be something like this:
virtual=192.168.6.2-192.168.6.30:80
real=192.168.6.240:80 gate
service=http
request="index.html"
receive="Test Page"
scheduler=rr
Unless you and I have different ideas of what a virtual server is and a real
server is.
A virtual server to me is address to which the end-user connects which makes
the end-user believe he is connecting to an actual server, however that
virtual server request is actually load balanced among a real server or two.
If our definitions are reversed, then your modification is exactly what I
was talking about.
Here's my setup... I have 1029 virtual servers -- that is I have 1029 hosts
which need to be load balanced. I also have four web servers which will
serve as real servers.
My ifcfg-ipvslvs0 file:
=====
DEVICE=ipvslvs0
IPVSDEVICE=tunl0
SUBNETS="216.69.192.11/32 216.69.192.12/32 216.69.192.13/32 216.69.192.38/32
216.69.192.39/32 216.69.196.0/22"
SCHED=rr
PPCTIMEOUT=1800
ONBOOT=yes
ACTIVE=yes
HOSTS="216.69.192.201 216.69.192.202 216.69.192.203 216.69.192.204"
CFGFILE=/usr/lib/mon/etc/defipvs.cf
=====
All of the addresses in that "SUBNETS" line are addresses of servers which I
host. These are the servers to which end users connect.
That HOSTS line contains the addresses of my real servers. These are the
addresses of the actual servers which provide responses to every host in the
SUBNETS line.
I've rewritten mon to read from this configuration file. I've also created
my own ifup/ifdown scripts that understand this configuration file.
Does mon support this functionality?
