Hello all!
I have gotten lvs running with keepalived using LVS-DR and everything
seems ok. The only issue I have (and I may have this wrong) is this.
I am running multiple websites and they each have their own ip due to
each one needing an ssl cert. The director is sending traffic to each
of the real servers.
Dandy. The only thing seems to be is that the director doesn't seem
to take into account the connections on the other ips.
So if ip A is getting a lot of traffic and ip B isn't at that time,
everything is is distributed to the 4 real servers and the load is the
same on all 4 real servers. Let's say that ip C is getting a lot of
traffic at the same time as ip A, then the director seems to be
sending traffic over to server 1 even though it's already gotten quite
a bit of traffic from IP A so the load gets unbalanced across the live
servers. So I guess what it boils down to is while the connections per
ip address are evenly distributed, the connections per server aren't.
I guess that theoretically in a wrr situation, it would just keep
cycling the connections to each of the real servers and it should all
work out but I am seeing quite a bit of load differences. 3 of the
real servers will be around .4 and the 4th will be at 1.3. I am using
the same weight on all of the servers (for now). When I check the
connections using ipvsadm, it appears to be sending the traffic
equally to all of the servers.
I guess the other thing that may throw a wrench into things is that I
am using keepalive in apache. That's how I had set it up when the
sites were just on a couple of machines. Should I not use keepalive
in apache any longer? From what I've read in previous posts, most
people say to use it.
Am I seeing this correctly or is this not how the director works and
if so, is there a way to remedy it?
Hopefully this rambling makes sense to someone out there. If not, let
me know and I can include more info.
Thanks,
Doug
