        I can get my lvs works with no problem.  However with in a matter
of an hour or two my bandwidth drops to virtually nothing and the CPU load
goes ballistic.  I have a 100Mbit internal network, but at times i'm lucky
to see 50Kps.  Here is my LVS topology

The director:
        DIP: xxx.xxx.214.3
        VIP: xxx.xxx.214.20 (webservers) and xxx.xxx.214.30 (sql)
        software:
                Mandrake 8.1
                kernel 2.4.8-26mdk
                ipvsadm 1.19-1mdk
        other notes:
                This box doubles as a bridging-firewall

Real Servers:
        RIP1: xxx.xxx.214.21 and xxx.xxx.214.31 (RedHad 7.1)
        RIP2: xxx.xxx.214.22 and xxx.xxx.214.32 (Mandrake 8.1)
        Both are using the ipchain methd to avoid the ARP problem
        Both have dual eth0 eepro100s bonded


Anyways like i said the cluster works perfectly.  Then out of no where the
bandwidth seemlingly disappears and the CPU rises dramatically.  I dont
know which comes first, but even ftping over the loopback gives god awful
ftp speeds.


Has anyone run across this?  Or is there another possible reason this
would occur?  Perhaps upgrading the kernel on the director?  Any help or
tips would be more then welcome!
