I though that LVS/TUN worked worked the same way as LVS/DR, where the LVS
forwards the request on to a realserver which answers back directly to the
client?
If that's true then only the initial request will go to the primary site,
then out and in to the secondary site.
After that the client will communicate directly with the realserver at the
secondary location.
Or am i completely wrong here?
All files serverd at the secondary location are big ones (downloads of demos
etc) so the request is a very small part of the whole transfer.
We're wasting some bandwidth here but i imagine it can't be that much?
