Dear List,
I have a feeling that PF can't do perfect round-robin load balancing
over 100Mbit.
When our PF server's (Dual Quad Core 3Ghz with 8GB ram) network traffic
goes over 100Mbit, the 80 port's connect time increases to 3-5-10 sec
instead of the stable 0.001-0.002 sec. The web servers feel good, they
don't have load, the redundant master-slave database servers feel good,
they dont have high load. So everything seems fine, except the connect
time. (Our checker script asks only a HEAD request from the web servers)
The internal network has Gbit connection so as the internet side.
Do you have any advice? Is it time to get a Layer 7 switch and do load
balancing with it? Or is it possible to do it in a PF way without a
Content Switch?
2 web servers and 2 database servers are involved.
[web 1] ---|
[web 2] ---|
[db 1] ---|---[pf/web 3/default gw]---internet
[db 2] ---|
For a while the web server on the PF server is down to test, but it does
the same connection time with a running apache and without a running apache.
Any idea? Our internet traffic average is 100Mbit-130Mbit and the
connect time makes me so sad.
Thanks in advance,
