Joe thanks for the reply! Tim Mooney's post was the one I was
referring to. In his post here
http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-users/2007-09/msg00036.html
you can see his output and how he has a high number of inactive
connections, where as mine is the opposite. I am using TLS, but
nothing is going through ldaps://, that is port 636. Read-only is
what I'm after here too. Good thinking on the TCPdump. I may give
that a shot. Actually I have a virtual http server set up as well
using DR, and its working great - shows lots of inactive connections
(like it should).
Thanks!
