Hey Joe,
Let me elaborate a little bit on exactly what the uses of this are going to be.
Let's see how I'm doing...
You have 50 decoys around the world, each pretending to be
your ftp server. You have one real ftp server. You want your
clients to connect to the nearest (or one of the) decoy
machine, but you want the files served from the real ftp
server, because it has a fat pipe to the world. Is this it?
If so, not exactly what you want, but it might do - Horm
Saru setup - geographically distributed servers. There's a
link in the HOWTO.
hmm. I assume your 50 decoys all have different IPs and
names?
If so then you have 50 directors, all of which use the same
realserver. The realserver would have 50 VIPs on it and
each would act independantly - the realserver doesn't care
that it's part of 50 LVS's. Yes that would work no problems
at all. Just to be safe (for failover) you could have two
realservers (each in a different part of the world maybe)
