Hi, i think the manpage of relayd has the description in the "mode ..." paragraphs a little wrong. The patch below changes
mode hash Balances the outgoing connections across the active hosts based on the hashed name of the table. Additional input can be fed into the hash by looking at HTTP headers and GET variables [...] mode loadbalance Balances the outgoing connections across the active hosts based on the hashed name of the table, the source and destination addresses, and the corresponding ports. [...] into mode hash Balances the outgoing connections across the active hosts based on the hashed name of the relay, the hashed name of the the table and the ip address and port of the relay. Additional input can be fed into the hash by looking at HTTP headers and GET variables [...] mode loadbalance Balances the outgoing connections across the active hosts based on the hashed name of the relay, the hashed name of the the table, the ip address and port of the relay and the source address of the client. In case someone wants to look over this, the code is in relay.c: relay_launch(), relay_from_table() and a bit in relay_handle_http(). ok? /Benno Index: relayd.conf.5 =================================================================== RCS file: /opt/OpenBSD-CVS/src/usr.sbin/relayd/relayd.conf.5,v retrieving revision 1.127 diff -u -p -r1.127 relayd.conf.5 --- relayd.conf.5 24 Apr 2012 14:56:09 -0000 1.127 +++ relayd.conf.5 5 May 2012 13:59:19 -0000 @@ -385,16 +385,18 @@ host from the specified table: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic mode hash Balances the outgoing connections across the active hosts based on the -hashed name of the table. -Additional input can be fed into the hash by looking at HTTP -headers and GET variables; see the +hashed name of the relay, the hashed name of the the table and the ip +address and port of the relay. +Additional input can be fed into the +hash by looking at HTTP headers and GET variables; +see the .Sx PROTOCOLS section below.
