Hi,
The ipvs 0.9.8 tar ball is available on the LVS website. It has some minor
enhancement. The ChangeLog is as follows:
IP Virtual Server Netfilter module - Version 0.9.8 - December 11, 2001
Changes:
* Added the nat_icmp_send sysctl variable, which is to control
sending icmp messages for VS/NAT when the load balancer receives
packets from real servers but the connection entries don't
exist. It is disabled by default.
* Tidy up some code of slow timer, such as changing the type of
__ip_vs_sltimerlist_lock from rwlock to spinlock and the type of
functions. Thank Julian for reminding me that local_bh_disable
call that I added in the 0.9.8pre1 is not necessary, and testing
0.9.8pre2 on SMP box.
* Changed to send the member state and flags of connection
synchronization in network order, instead of host order. It can
solve the problem that the primary load balancer and the backups
may have different hardware architectures. Thank Rodger Erickson
<rerickson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> for the suggestion.
* Added the functionality of synchronizing connection controller
each time a connection is synchronized and it has its
controller. It is useful for persistent service in the IPVS
connection synchronization. And, change the type of protocol in
struct ip_vs_sync_conn from __u16 to __u8, then a __u8 space is
reserved for future development.
* Fixed the bug of linking a dest into a dest_list in the lblcr
scheduler.
As always, bugreports, fixes, comments and suggestions are welcome.
