Hiya,

I need some hints with using LVS with cookies.

We are using PHP code, which uses cookies, and I need to try and benchmark
the system. The problem is that each connection will be coming from the same
IP address and therefore the persistence option in ipvsadm will not work
because all the requests are sent to one server.

Is there any method of configuring LVS that might work? Or will I need to
look for another "HTTP Header" based load balancing system? I'm very
impressed with the ease of using LVS so far, and would prefer to keep with
it, but if anyone has any other recommendations, I'd be happy to hear them.

A solution to the benchmarking problem would also cope with multiple
requests coming from a company/ISP proxy server as well.

Many thanks,

Tim
