Keep in mind that they backport patches from later 2.2 releases and from trunk, but their version number stays the same.Review the source RPM to see what's really going on. It has its own Changes file.Even if you were to use vanilla 2.2.3, do you have any information that the features you need were not up to snuff in that version?In any case I'd recommend that you set up a test installation and see if what you need to work, works. That way you have your own benchmark.
Thanks. I didn't realize they backport but don't up the version. I'm not aware of anything in particular that's not up to snuff, I'm mostly wondering if there is anything I should look out for. I seem to recall somebody mentioning that prior to 2.2.4 the session affinity stuff wasn't /quite/ ready for primetime.
Anyhow, yes, we are testing, and we had a hiccup which turned out to be a configuration problem, but it raised some concerns so I figured I'd ask the group.
