We just moved our primary load balancer from an ancient Dell PowerApp 120 running Red Hat 7.3 to a newer Dell PowerEdge 750 running Fedora Core 5. However, we're noticing something weird.

Where before, we were seeing Active Connections in the 1-4 range even during normal usage, we're now seeing them in the 12-16 range on average. We've got the same weighting on the new server as we did on the old.

someone else reported the same problem a little while ago. The only thing I can think is that RH has done something with the code that we don't know about. If your system is otherwise behaving OK, you could ignore it/recalibrate your ideas of what it does.

Would the code changes (if they're there) be in the kernel/networking level, or the packaged LVS? To put it another way, would it gain us anything to build ipvsadm-1.24-6.src.rpm from linuxvirtualserver.org and use that instead of the ipvsadm-1.24-7.2.1 package from Fedora?

Thanks,
Wade
