Robert, I'm asking because in an environment that if I have a lot of traffic incoming to my website and I have my backends (webservers) behind the loadbalancer, the loadbalancer itself can became a bottleneck. Do you agree?
Like in LVS (linux virtual server), they have an "Direct Route" mode that incoming traffic goes thru loadbalancer, but the backends respond directly to client. Regards. *NetMaker .
