Hi

It kind of defeats the object of the cluster to require a client to connect to the same physical server in order to ensure a maintenance of state - you both bypass the load balancing and the redundancy the cluster provides.

This sort of information (state, session) should be maintained in a service available to all machines in the cluster - a database, a session service - each of which should support replication to ensure redundancy once again.

If this is not feasible for your service, I don't believe LVS is what you are looking for.

Hi,

I am considering building a LVS for the purposes of a computing cluster
but I am not sure it will work for our purposes because I cannot see how
LVS would allow a user to connect to the same machine from one session to
the next so that s/he could monitor her processes, etc.  Is there a way
for LVS to do this?  Thanks.
