Steve, That sounds really daft, from a performance perspective. Although I do recall wanting to do a similar thing with firewall rules in the past i.e. dynamic rules.
LVS definitely doesn't do that. Haproxy will balance on a DNS entry, not sure if it caches the results though (probably). 2009/2/27 Stjohnson <[email protected]> > > Hello, > > I have a question about LVS.
