Hi,
in my previous thread x509, i mentioned i have 3 linux boxes with a load
balancer in their front-end. They all serve www.mydomain.com through the VIP
interface of the load balancer switch. My impression is that the load balancer
should distribute the load traffic among the 3 servers, right?
checking the daily apache/error_log file of each server showed me these logs at
a certain point in time.
linux1:
[info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or
Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 32 children, there are 0 idle, and 179 total
children
linux2:
[info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or
Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 32 children, there are 0 idle, and 1429 total
children
linux3:
[info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or
Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 32 children, there are 0 idle, and 78 total
children
for newbie like me, linux2 is taking so much load compare to linux1 and linux3.
Is the load balancer not distributing the load across the servers? I mean, the
numbers may not be equal to all servers but at least just differ by a couple of
tens of processes not hundreds.
All servers have MaxSpareServers 10 and StartServers 5. Any ideas, why linux2
has so much?
thanks,
Sir june
