Has anyone done this using QEMU and VDE2 yet?
I have! I have! But it was two, or possibly three, years ago. And it wasn't VDE2, nor a decent version of QEMU either (it fell over a lot). But it sufficed as a proof of concept for an SSL proxy system I designed for someone (to offload the SSL overhead from a web farm to a pair of load-balanced Squids). As I recall, once I had the various virtual nets setup, and managed to get a reasonable system image to run under QEMU, the rest was just the same as making it work with a bunch of real machines. A bit slower, but just the same :) Concentrate on getting your host and guest machines running - standalone, if need be - then linking them up via your VDE network. Then - and only then - start tinkering with LVS. I still have the scabs on my knees from the experience (running before walking) :) Graeme _______________________________________________ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
