I had 2 different test scenarios, 1st was apache directly on the director
(running DR), were only the director answered the ssl request and nothing
gots passed to the realservers, since this was only a quick test were i'd
like 
to see accleration i quickly jumped to a seperate host running apache, on
this
host i addressed the VIP/realservers.

I hoped to decrypt the packets on the director and then pass the decrypted
packets to the realserver via the LVS

>you are using an SSL accelerator box in front of the director?

Yes, this i did on my 2nd try were i had success, but i cant say
anyhing about performance, i've simulated ~~ 10 concurrent requests and
downloads of about 3 GB via the ssl acclerator, apache's cpu time went
up to 30% on a 1 Ghz / 512 MB host.

Thanks
Matthias

were you running localnode?, or were you hoping to decrypt the packets
on the director and then pass the decrypted
packets to the realserver via the LVS?

Julian,
        Should you be able to send packets for the VIP to an 
SSL accelarator card on the director, before the LVS gets them?

you are using an SSL accelerator box in front of the director?
