I'm putting in a feature request for ldirectord, not sure if this is
necessarily the best place to submit this, but I thought it couldn't hurt.
Right now, when a ldirectord takes a real-server out of the LVS either
because it couldn't connect to the port or because the the request page
did not match the required pattern, ldirectord completely removes them
out of the lvs by I would assume `ipvsadm -d`
My request is that instead it would set the weight to 0 instead of
completely removing them. This way live connections will not be cut when
a server is taken out.
The reason I am requesting this is because when I'm testing changes to
my website I like to take one of my servers out of the lvs by changing
the request page to not match the requred pattern. At the time of this
change the server is still functioning properly and should still serve
it's active connections, but no more new connections should be made.
Once it is out of the LVS I am free to make changes and test them before
copying the changes to the other real-servers and then putting the
server back into the LVS by fixing the request page.
Does this make sense? If not ask me and I'll try to explain it better.
I'm requesting this now in hopes that the ldirectord team will implement
it for me ;-) If not, when I have more time next week I will implement
it myself and submit that patch.
