Not so much working at wire speed, but using LVS to handle a very
large number of telnet and ssh sessions.
none of your ssh connections are terminating at the
director. The realservers are doing all the
encrypting/decrypting etc. The director is just a router
with funny rules. It's not working as hard as the
realservers.
Right, I understand that, but there will be an increased load on the
server if it's also going to be NAT'ing. I would assume the load will
double. Right now, I stay around 0.07, so it probably wouldn't be a
big deal. However, the number of connections coming in will triple
(and then some).
> I'm wondering how much it would tax the director.
I think it's reasonable to give it a try (and let use know
how it goes).
See above.
I do think it might be worth a try though.
As far as specs go:
Quad Xeon 3.4Ghz
4GB Ram
10K SCSI drives, RAID5
Gig ethernet
Redundant with an identical system, using the ipvsadm --daemon options
to keep them syncd.
