Hello,
I'm very new to LVS and have tried reading the site page. However, I am
unsure as to what you mean by "the users see only a single virtual
server". What does this mean for applications running on the LVS cluster?
Are they, too, unaware that they are running on a cluster of servers, or
must you run specialized clustering applications written in something like
PVM? Also, what differences would there be between LVS and something like
Beowulf (apart from the load-balancing boxes)?
I have read that the "realservers serve services (eg ftp, http, dns,
telnet, nntp)", but was hoping that it could be extended somehow to run
actual applications across the cluster. Am I wrong in this regard?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
-Davison
