We run load balancers with up to 16 ethernet interfaces, 100Mbit/s. You
just have to buy a decent motherboard with 66Mhz PCI slots and off you
go. If you can show me a site that needs more than 100Mbit/s of requests
using the LVS_DR approach, I will be very impressed and I will
personally work on reducing network latency just for you :). I think
your tomcat processes will die before that. And I also vote for the
third solution, although I would modify it to use LVS_DR. In your
depicted solution you favour LVS_NAT. OTHO several people on the list
have stated that NAT seems to be almost as fast as DR. YMMV, I just gave
my 2 cents of comments ...
Best regards,
