Hi Joe, thanks for the quick reply.

I'd rather not switch to LVS-NAT, simply because of the amount of connections I'm going to be handling. I am expecting ~1000 ssh sessions and 300-500 telnet sessions and I am worried that the load on the director would suffer.

I have not tested an LVS-NAT director since it was changed to the netfilter framework for 2.4.x, but according to the guys who wrote the code, it is supposed to be as fast as LVS-DR.

Maybe my understanding of LVS-DR is incorrect. I understand that return packets that are sent from the RS to the client are not sent through the director. However, would the reply packets from the client go through the director in order to get to the RS?

yes.

That was my understanding of LVS-DR, so I thought that the ipvsadm table should continue to be updated.

no-one's thought it worth their time to have it working perfectly.

Joe
