Hi folks, I've been successfully using IPVS under CentOS 5 for a long time, and I've recently been using it with CentOS 6. Just this week I noticed a performance problem with the CentOS 6 cluster, though, and I'm wondering if anyone can offer advice on how to track it down.
In both cases, the IPVS setup directs incoming ssh connections to one of several login nodes, something like this: TCP my.host.edu:ssh wlc -> host1.internal:ssh Masq 9 0 0 -> host2.internal:ssh Masq 10 0 0 -> host3.internal:ssh Masq 10 0 0 On the CentOS 6 cluster, I noticed that X applications like emacs were taking a long time to open, and were very laggy. The CentOS 5 cluster doesn't act this way at all. I did some experiments, and I find that if I bypass IPVS and ssh to the CentOS 6 director machine, and then ssh from there to one of the internal hosts, X applications are as fast as the CentOS 5 cluster through IPVS. I also tried manually setting up a DNAT forwarding rule on the CentOS 6 director machine, like this: iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d my.host.edu --dport 2201 -j DNAT --to host1.internal:22 iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp -s -d host1.internal --dport 22 -j ACCEPT If I then ssh to my.host.edu:2201 (ending up on host1.internal), X applications are as fast as on CentOS 5 through IPVS. Any suggestions on how I can debug this? The IPVS configurations on the two clusters are identical. What should I be looking at? Thanks in advance for any advice.
