The operating system is detecting 1GB only in each server, sometimes starts swaping which is really not good. The theory behind Apache is really simple, more memory = more hits/sec without queueing requests Paulo On 5/11/07, Mike McGrath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Paulo Santos wrote: > Mike,

The RedHat Load balancing clustering tool (piranha) might looks a bit complex, but in reality, it's just a fancy wrapper around ipvsadm which is the user-space tool for the kernel traffic director. I havent played with Nth module, but ipvsadm is probably more tested. So, we don't have a hardware b

Hey Mike, I have seen: if you want to balance the load to the 3 addresses 10.0.0.5, 10.0.0.6 and 10.0.0.7, then you can do as follows : # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -m nth --counter 7 --every 3 --packet 0 -j SNAT --to-source 10.0.0.5 # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -m nth -
