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.
