Hello,
 I'm trying to create a sorry server for clients that can't connect to my 
real servers (limited by u-threshold)
ServerA  - 100 conn
ServerB - 110 conn
when this limit is reached I want my clients to go to a lighttpd served 
page saying "come back later"
I'm trying with wheights and thresholds... but it's not working the way 
I thouth. 
I suspect the clients scheduled for the sorry server never return back 
to the cluster, right (only if you use persistency of course)? 
 
does anybody know how can I do that?
 
Yes, I've written a patch for the 2.4 kernel series extending IPVS to 
support the concept of an atomically switching sorry server environment. 
Unfortunately I didn't have the time to port the work to 2.6 kernels yet 
(the threshold stuff is already in but a bit broken and the sorry server 
stuff needs some adjustments in the 2.6 kernel). If you run 2.4 on your 
LB, you could try out the patches posted to this list almost exactly one 
year ago: 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-virtual-server&m=113225125532426&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-virtual-server&m=113225142406014&w=2
The fix to the kernel patch above:

And the 3/4 cut-off fix:

I personally believe that the sorry-server feature is a big missing 
piece of framework in IPVS, one that is implemented in all commercial HW 
load balancers. 
 I don't know if this list is the right one for my question, if it's not 
I'm sorry
 
It is correct. I might sit down and do the 2.6 port but I'll be off-line 
soon, so chances are little that I get to it before Christmas. 
Best regards,
