When I said here, I meant on the list... I thought that was the conclusion of
the "iptables on LB and connection limit?" thread or maybe one other in the
past year, but I could be sorely mistaken or it is my subconscious dislike of
iptables taking over :) but I coulda swore I read something to that effect,
because I remember thinking "Note to self: don't use iptables on high
connection rate systems".
You obviously have a better handle on this stuff being the author of the
how-to (which should be re-named "The LVS Encyclopedia" since it is much more
comprehensive than most sparse HOW-TOs).
