According to the 2.2.19 kernel version of
"net/ip_masq.h" (which the LVS patch ipvs-1.0.8
does not change),
/*
* Linux ports don't normally get allocated above 32K.
* I used an extra 4K port-space
*/
#define PORT_MASQ_BEGIN 61000
#define PORT_MASQ_END (PORT_MASQ_BEGIN+4096)
The comment seems to imply that I could widen or
move the range [PORT_MASQ_BEGIN, PORT_MASQ_END] as
long as it starts above 32 k and ends below 64 k.
Do you foresee any problems making this range bigger
or perhaps moving it to another location above 32 k?
Also the constant "PORT_MASQ_MUL" from
"net/ipv4/ip_masq.c" appears to serve only as
a check to make sure that the masquerading facility
does not hog all the available memory, and that
actually things would still work no matter how large
it is or even if the checks using it are disabled
altogether. Is this statement true?
Thanks.
