ldirectord performance

["ST Wong (ITSC)" <ST@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I setup a heartbeat+ldirectord cluster on 2 nodes.  They are also real
servers running httpd.   Both load balancing and failover over of
ldirectord work well.  However, when I run apachebench (ab) against this
setup, found that performance of connecting to VIP is only 30-40% of
connecting to individual real server.   Disabling SyncDaemon only helps
a bit.  

I'm afraid I've something missed.  Would anyone please help?

Thanks a lot.

Sincerely,
ST Wong
