didn't know what that meant. persistence of 1 sec is not
going to do anything useful though.
Have you looked at the -SH scheduler to acheive
client-realserver affinity? It has less problems than
persistence.

if we know about it, it will be in the HOWTO.

I don't know anything about it. I'll assume it's a service
with relatively long connection time and requires heavy
compute service on the realserver.
I don't know why you have three apparenlty identical
services on consecutive ports. It seems only to make the
setup more complicated.

is the realserver listening on the same port for both
virtualservices?

LVS statistics are designed for large numbers of
connections. Originally LVS was used for http, where the
connections are short and there are thousands of connections
open. Presumably connections for small numbers of
connections is deterministic, but I don't think you have
much control over it.

can you edit your posts. Nothing below here is relevant but
it's being sent to 3 archivers and 1000 subscribers.
