Has anyone experiences with load balancing ftp over several ZEO clients? 

If the load balancer works on TCP connection level,
then it should work for FTP in the same way as for HTTP
(with the exception that connections tend to be open for
a much longer time, thereby bindung resources).

 ...
Can I forward both port 20 and 21 to the ftp port of the ZEO?

ZEO itself is not FTP capable.
You need a ZEO client (e.g. Zope) for this.

Is it possible to use passive and active ftp?

It depends on what your firewall allows.

I'm not sure I'd recommend Zope's FTP server, it's kinda crufty.

Rather roll out WebDAV, which can be load balanced in the same way as 
any other web request.


cheers,

Chris

[Zope] load balancing ftp over ZEO clients

2006-06-19 Thread Reinoud van Leeuwen
Hi,

We have an intranet that has a ZEO setup. For http and webdav there are 
even fronproxies installed which are loadbalanced though a Alteon server.
(yes it is kind of an overkill setup but we wanted to get some experience 
with such a setup for future projects).

We now would like to rollout ftp acces for the users that cannot use 
webdav for some reason.

Has anyone experiences with load balancing ftp over several ZEO clients? 
What are the todo's and todont's?
Can I forward both port 20 and 21 to the ftp port of the ZEO?
Is it possible to use passive and active ftp?

Thanks,
