Hi, I want to load balance an ftp server, so I thought about setting up relayd in front of it. but due to the nature of the ftp protocol, using separate connection for control and data, therefore I expect some trouble. I found some sites, mentioning that ftp will not work with relayd, but otherwise, FTP is shortly mentioned in relayd.conf(5) as example of a protocol that output a banner.
I thought, when I load balance the control connection, then the server will answer with a different address and port for the data connection, than where the client connected. I'll have some clients in parallel, and the file sizes are more or less equally, so I'd hope with a good chance the more bandwidth hungry data connections would be also hopefully, could this work? If anyone could share some experiences, that would be greatly appreciated. kind regards Sebastian
