Hi All,

This is the scenario,

I have a cluster of streaming media servers set up using LVS to load balance 
between them.

It works fine when all the clients are viewing videos but with any clients that 
are actually broadcasting to the servers, their entire session is going through 
the director node before getting to the real server so the incoming bandwidth 
on the director is quite high.

Is it possible to handoff the connection completely to the realserver after the 
initial connection?  The streaming connections are basically a single socket 
connection which stays open for the duration of the session so there is really 
no need for it all to go through the director anyway.

Thanks in advance,

Roger.
