So, I'm looking at deploying an IPVS cluster. I'd like to deploy it in a way where I have some level of HA. Fortunately, my application fits fairly well into the source hash scheduler. From my understanding, I don't need to run the ipvs synchronization daemon across nodes.
The only scenario that I'm not sure of, is what happens if a load balancer fails over at the same time as a backend/real server failing, and therefore getting its weight marked at 0? Does the source hash scheduler utilize consistent hashing, or still include the weighted 0 server in the calculation? Or do I still need to do IPVS synchronization in order to allow for simultaneous load balancer, and backend failure? Additionally, I've noticed that someone has released a consistent hashing scheduler, here: https://github.com/dsheng/ip_vs_ch Has anyone used this scheduler, and would you potentially roll this into the main release? _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to lvs-users-requ...@linuxvirtualserver.org or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
