I think I've missed some context, ignore if so. One place I routinely see this type of setup is on web proxies or UNIX boxes uses as load balancers which front-end a bunch of VIPs. Have you tried updating /etc/hosts with values for each of the IP aliases? It may be that it is DNS-related delays. I have seen both FreeBSD 6.x and RHEL 4/5.x hosts exhibit similar behavior, and /etc/hosts entries made it acceptably fast. Of course this would usually be an unacceptable solution, but since these were production hosts for us that didn't change much it wasn't a huge deal. Have you played with strace/truss/whatever and looked at the delays? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
