Hello folks, I’m
investigating on the possibility to adopt an iptables-enabled box to balance
the incoming traffic toward a server farm. The fundamental question is: Q1: Does iptables
allow a state-balancing? Or it simple span the packets on the range of IPs? (I
further guess: Has it any reasonable sense?) Q2: What happens
in the case a target IPs doesn’t respond yet? In other words Is iptables
able to recognize an host failure? Q3: Provided my
needs, and supposing I’ll receive negative answers, does exists some
free/gpled solution feasible to me Q4: Provided
iptables fit positively to Q1 and Q2, does anyone experimented the solution? Any
feedback to the regard? I would thanks in advance all the repliers. k.r. *g |
