That's something I did take into account when building the LVS LB's. I also have tested with the LVS and direct to the web nodes. The performance is just not what I expected but mind you, I've not done any fine tuning yet. Are there a series of steps I should be taking? I see a lot on the net but it's not too clear which things I really should try doing first. Mike > that it would not generate un-necessary lock traffic.
