Sorry for top posting you, but I run a riak cluster behind two separate virtual IPs on my load balancer (an F5 LTM), one on a private IP that I write to and one on a public IP that can be read from. I control that behavior with iRules, though I'm sure other LBs have their own mechanism for the same. It may be overkill but it was an easy way to control where reads/writes came from.

Dear list,Does anyone have an opinion on the concept of putting a Riak cluster behind a load balancer?We wish to be able to automatically add/remove nodes from the cluster, so adding an extra layer at the front is desirable. We should also benefit for incoming requests behind shared across all nodes.Can anyone see any drawbacks / problems with doing this?ThanksMatt
