When an RS is set down in this manner, does ldirectord tell LVS to stop redirecting new connections but keep forwarding packets on existing connections? Or does it just immediately cut off all communication with the RS, which would have the effect of freezing connections for users that are already on the RS?

This patch introduces a new option "maintenancedir" which allows the administrator to specify a directory in which ldirectord will check for the existence of files indicating if the realserver should be forcibly set down (irrespective of and bypassing the normal service check). If a site is using a management tool such as cfengine or Puppet that watches and manages the ldirectord configuration file it may not be possible or practical to modify the configuration file to remove a realserver or weight it to 0 during maintenance. This mechanism provides a quick and simple way to signal ldirectord that a real server should be set down without having to modify any configuration files.
