looking in

for "LVS DR FIN"

I find some postings by Siim_Poder with the same problem 
(he's using LVS-NAT). He didn't really have a good idea what 
was going on, but assumed that it was a flaky connection to 
the client (I know the FIN packet has got as far as the 
director, and you'd wonder why it couldn't get the next 
step to the realserver). He increased his timeouts. He 
hasn't come back saying that he still has the problem. Maybe 
he's living with it, or maybe it's solved. I can't tell.

Another post from Andreas Lundqvist

http://marc.info/?l=linux-virtual-server&m=116254182228697&w=2

showed that the problem only occured with encrypted 
services. He fixed the problem by changing the packet size

Let us know what you find.
