Hello I'd like some feedback about using Apache's mod_proxy to provide load balancing with other Apache2 servers vs. using a dedicated device. At this point, our first Apache2 server, acting as load balancer, is 50% idle, while the other Apache2 server is 0% idle: --- Apache #1 (includes load balancer to forward connections to Apache #2) top - 19:35:21 up 26 days, 2:21, 3 users, load average: 165.76, 163.97, 200.46 Tasks: 829 total, 155 running, 673 sleeping, 1 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 36.3%us, 10.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 47.2%id, 5.1%wa, 0.1%hi, 1.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2070172k total, 1978392k used, 91780k free, 48016k buffers Swap: 998376k total, 244336k used, 754040k free, 518996k cached --- Apache #2 top - 19:33:46 up 21 days, 3:23, 3 users, load average: 511.90, 468.51, 351.50 Tasks: 1325 total, 105 running, 1219 sleeping, 1 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 28.5%us, 65.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 1.1%hi, 5.4%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2061660k total, 2012144k used, 49516k free, 2084k buffers Swap: 922600k total, 430876k used, 491724k free, 104796k cached Any idea to explain this imbalance? Should we get better performance with a dedicated box?
