Hi list, I'm planning to replace a GNU/Linux-driven load balancer (heartbeat, ldirectord) by an OpenBSD setup using pf, pfsync, and relayd.
However, I discovered that I need 'weighting' (at least that is what it's called in ldirectord). For example, I have ten web servers to spread the load onto, three of them are 'old' and would handle less page impressions in the same time frame. So I'd like to spread the incoming connections across all machines, but reduce the amount of connections to the three slower ones, e.g. only the half or one third of the amount 'the big ones' handle. Is there such a feature in relayd I didn't see when reading the documentation repeatedly? I could handle this by creating NIC aliases on the servers depending on the workload they should handle, but I think that it would be best to have such functionality in the load balancer.
