Hello Joe,
No, you don't know me and I don't know you. I have been on this list for
many years and you and others have helped me many times. :) My
involvement with Linux goes back to 2000 with Redhat 6 and I am an avid
promoter of open source software.
see http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-
users/2002-12/msg00103.html
We currently have a 6 node LVS in production- since 2002 I might add.
By opportunity, I don't mean to sound threatening. We have been using
LVS since 2002. And it has worked great. My goal is to help the project
-to give back to the project.
The opportunity exists in the potential of getting Seibel to validate
LVS as a 3rd party source of load-balancing.
This may be fruitless but the *positive* side of this would be:
- the attention that it gives the LVS project.
- the savings to companies in not having to purchase other products
- recognition that LVS is ready for prime time
I realize that this may or may not be what you as a project leader want.
Help me out here.
Thanks,
Dave Augustus
