Our webmail is set on the webmail real servers to be

never saw any trouble with this setup. I did not
believe the LVS persistance needed to match the
webmail persistance, due to the unlike strategies of
persistance behind each. Yes/no???
If you can't login without persistence on the loadbalancer then your web
mail app does NOT have persistent sessions (i.e. backend sharred database.)
-----------------------------------------
Would changing 15 to 60min Persistance on the LVS take
up a lot of memory and processing (CPU/load) overhead?
We're running 1gb of memory and dual pentium III.
-----------------------------------------
I would think it would be fine, 1 GB should handle almost 8 million
connections in the timeout period i.e. 60 mins (or 2mins with no
persistence) Some one clever might correct me on that but I think its true.
