So 128 bytes/connection. How big is your connection/second? Do you have
spikey traffic? Just put a gig or two of RAM in the director(s) and you
probably won't have to worry :)

Are you going to have a lot of AOL users?

Read those two threads and the HOWTO, for example
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/docs/persistence.html and
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.persistent_con
nection.html.

If you are worried about mega-proxies I would be vewy vewy cautios with that
granularity setting.

I'm sure that I don't know. I'd say ask Ratz but he is probably busy with
girls ;-). Julian or Joseph, what the heck is this?
I'm going to take a stupid guess <TM> and think that maybe in a weighted
connection scheduler we slowly add weight to the real server until it is
up-to-par with the rest of them?

Hope it's useful.
