Hi, First of all let me say that this is a very vague and probably LVS-unrelated problem. I'm posting it anyway in the hope other people have run into this problem before and know the solution.
We recently switched from an LVS setup using Shorewall for firewall rules management, to a setup using plain iptables. It's an LVS-NAT setup and the realservers that are behind the director are webservers. The only thing changed on the rs's is the default gateway which now points to the new director. What we notice is that there's suddenly an increase of ActiveConn. Before the switch it was around 400 at peak hours. Now it's close to 1400. If we point the rs's back to the old setup, the problem is gone. The old director is running CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5xen The new director is running CentOS 5.5 with kernel 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5xen Any tips would be most welcome. kind regards, Léon _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [email protected] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
