load balancing load

[Peter T. Brown]

Hi--   I've got a one island, two node cluster. The whole setup works, each of the two nodes fields requests etc. However, the Linux load average on the load balancer fluctuates radically and often goes above 15 or 20! The load averages on the cluster nodes are well below 0.5. Anybody know what might be causing this behavior and how I can fix it?   Thanks,   Peter T. Brown
