Macom and all,
Thank you for your reply. However, on the the
contrary, we have 20,000+/- webmail users combined
with IMAP client/SMTP users on top of that (through
the same LVS cluster routing for those services). Off
hours the stats do drop, and pickup heavily during
business hours (which is probably what you saw in the
ipvsadm output - which BTW was just "instantaneous"
statistics, not totals). Also we process about a
million message a day, majority via webmail!
Our webmail is set on the webmail real servers to be
60 min before it gives up the session, but setting LVS
to 15 min was just so they can login to webmail, and I
never saw any trouble with this setup. I did not
believe the LVS persistance needed to match the
webmail persistance, due to the unlike strategies of
persistance behind each. Yes/no???
-----------------------------------------
Would changing 15 to 60min Persistance on the LVS take
up a lot of memory and processing (CPU/load) overhead?
We're running 1gb of memory and dual pentium III.
-----------------------------------------
Thanks again,
Peter
PS: When we upgraded from RHL7.3+Piranha to
RHEL-AS-v3+ClusterServices(Piranha), the Linux servers
were up for 200+ DAYS, and still processing away good
as ever. Pretty good, huh!
