Do manual do balance http://www.inlab.de/balance.html
Balance allows the definition of further channel groups. The connection scheme works as follows: balance tries first to establish a connection to a channel in the first group (0), performing the stan- dard round-robin load balancing scheme. If no channel in this group is available, balance pro- ceeds with the next higher channel group. Groups are simply separated with a "!" at the command line at startup and can be controlled interactively with the "group" command. A "%" instead of a "!" as a group separator declares the previous group to be of type "hash". This means that instead of a round-robin algorithm, a hash distribution based on the client ip address is used to determine the destination channel. This allows connecting one client always to the same server (e.g. balancing http sessions to a single server). Hosts may be specified either by hostname or by IP address. Por ts may be specified either by name (as listed in /etc/services) or numerically. If no por t is specified in a destination, the desti- nation port defaults to the source port that balance controls. -- Marcello Costa BSD System Engineer unixmafia at yahoo dot com dot br FUG-BR #156 http://www.fug.com.br _______________________________________________________ Novidade no Yahoo!
