But that is not the only problem. HTTPS is another and also with LVS you can do much more "intelligent" load-balancing, using different balancing algorithms. Not to mention the fail-over capabilities. I'm not saying its impossible with ipchains, I'm just saying that a lot of people are working on more sophisticated solutions already and that those solutions are working great! - Cheers, Peter /----------------------------------------------\ | Dipl.-Ing.
