Dan's not the only one who might be willing to pay for implementation of
such features... ;-)
I'm itching for a few things in LVS. A fast MD5 (or similar hash)
destination IP hashing scheduling algorithm that will allow several web
caches to be used and have no repeated data between them. (~$1500-$2000
seems fair to me...Anyone who has the skills to do so want to fill me in
on whether it is the 1-2 week job that I think it is?)
Moving LVS into the realm of more full featured L4 and L7 switches would
also be a fun thing, and it's something I'll help fund.
There's plenty of money for things to get done in LVS, I think. But
where to find the willing (and good) coders to do it?
Any takers?
