I've been using lvs+ldirectord for a while now. I've observed on many
occasions that weights sometimes seem to change spontaneously. For
example, I have three Windows terminal servers as follows:

TCP  192.168.5.100:3389 wlc
  -> 192.168.10.35:3389           Masq    20    19          0
  -> 192.168.15.84:3389           Masq    40    51          0
  -> 192.168.15.83:3389           Masq    40    52          0

The server at 192.168.10.35 is new and still in testing. I want it to
handle less load than the othes, so I set its weight lower.

But then I come back a few hours later and I find it looking something
like this:

TCP  192.168.5.100:3389 wlc
  -> 192.168.10.35:3389           Masq     1    41          0
  -> 192.168.15.84:3389           Masq     1    40          1
  -> 192.168.15.83:3389           Masq     1    41          0


Can anyone suggest a reason why these weights would change by
themselves?
