Hmm. Very interesting. Thank you very much. Can I take from this that kernel based SNAT is somehow better for lots of concurrent connections? I did see loadbalancer.org use HA proxy - I'd looked into this previously, but there was something about it that seemed inelegant.
I guess I should have a play with both. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Malcolm Turnbull Sent: 28 October 2013 20:50 To: LinuxVirtualServer.org users mailing list. Subject: Re: [lvs-users] SNAT with LVS Nick, The SNAT support should work fine for all recent v3 kernels... or 2.6.36 (only). However I would expect that most people use HAProxy for SNAT mode as long as its not a huge number of concurrent connections 100K+. We use LVS for DR or NAT and HAProxy for SNAT mode on Loadbalancer.org appliances and have found it very fast and reliable. Pretty sure Barracuda does the same as us and Kemp use LVS + a proprietary software proxy they bought ages ago from an old German load balancer vendor.
