Hi,
Yes, I relate to HW-based load balancers. I wonder why you don't have these issues? Which kind of software are you employing? Is support for long-lived connections given? As you understand, these issues are not hardware of software related, they are much more related to the design.

Because I don't have the issues you describe with our software load balancing solution. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Principal Software Developer ITS/Shared Application Services Stanford University GnuPG Public Key: http://www.stanford.edu/~quanah/pgp.html --- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE as the SUBJECT of the message.
