Hi,
I'm using LVS-DR to balance 12 real servers.
Each server runs a little search web engine.
When these servers are overloaded there are lots of TCP connections in the 
state "TIME_WAIT".
I know why they are in that state, because I read some documents about this 
argument.
However I'd like to reduce the number of connections in this state.
That's I want to reduce the time before a connection is closed definitively.
I read an old post of Roberto Nibali (about LVS Performance) who tells that it 
is possible the tuning of TCP_TIMEWAIT and CLOSE_WAIT connections.
But he only mention this possibility.
Does anybody know how to do this?
Thank you very much.

claudio

P.S.:
I use a 2.4 linux kernel.
