Hello,

I'm searching a directory Layer-7 load-balancer which can route requests to 
different clusters :
http://www.onedomain.com/cluster1/..... route to a first group of 8 servers.
http://www.onedomain.com/cluster2/..... route to a second group of 5 servers.
http://www.onedomain.com/cluster2/..... route to a third group of 6 servers.

Before buying Alteon or Redline Networks product I'm testing lvs solutions.

I need to handle :
- 30 000 packets/sec
- 150 Mbps throughput

Ping-Tzay Tsai said in 2002, "KTCPVS 0.0.7 with intel eepro 1000 can handle 
---> 5643 requests/sec 298 Mb/sec"

3 questions :
- Can KTCPVS could be used in production, is-it stable for heavy load ?
- Now with a Dual-Xeon 3.4 Ghz, 4 Gb, intel e1000 and KTCPVS version 0.0.18, 
is-it possible to reach 150 Mbps whith one server ?
- In the KTCPVS config file there is a maxclients parameter, is-it a 
limitation, can we put a big value ?


Regards,

Erwan
