What is the lists view on it?
Can it really be compared to LVS?
The man page for more recent versions of iptables says:
- CLUSTERIP This module allows you to configure a simple
- cluster of nodes that share a certain IP and MAC address
- without an explicit load balancer in front of them
So without going into a huge amount of detail, my take on the
"comparison" question would be a resounding "no".
It might be useful for small projects where very simple 'clustering' is
used (speech marks intentional), such as a simple 2 server setup, but
IMO in no way could you directly compare it to LVS because it's so
basic.
Don't get me wrong; everything has its' place and this is probably
tremendously useful under certain conditions, I just can't see them for
the number of LVS-style systems I can prod from here :)
