I just did some testing on the connection reporting behavior and
discovered something interesting.  This is for an LVS-NAT virtual
service of http, rr, persistence 300.

The initial page load triggered an ActiveConn count of 1 as reported by
ipvsadm.  The connection status list on the director had SYN_RECV and
ESTABLISHED for a couple of seconds.  After the page finished loading in
the browser, the connection status switched to SYN_RECV and TIME_WAIT. 
At this point, the ActiveConn count decreased to 0, and the InActConn
increased to 1.

Here's the weird part: Subsequent page loads from the same browser
didn't trigger a new active connection.  The browser cache was disabled,
but I even wrote a perl script to repeatedly suck down pages from this
web server.  The InActConn count remained until the SYN_RECV expired on
the director.

I'm confused by this.  Shouldn't new network traffic from a single ip
address reestablish/reset the connection and be reflected in the active
connection count?

Thanks,
