Alex, The short answer is no. It depends on your application.
Run them all on the same weight for a while and see how they get loaded, then decide if you need to play with the weights or just add more servers. In a layer 4 balanced cluster I normally recommend no greater than 40% utilisation as a rule of thumb to cope with peaks in demand. 2008/11/13 Alex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > [snip from lvs docs] > During configuration, you assign a weight to each real server.
