Hello,
Has iptables possibility (or will have) to use other load balancing
methods/algorithms (for example: weighted round-robin, hash, load agent,
custom algorithm)?
>From 'man iptables':
DNAT
This target is only valid in the nat table, in the PREROUTING
and OUTPUT
chains, and user-defined chains which are only called from those
chains.
It specifies that the destination address of the packet should
be
modified (and all future packets in this connection will also be
mangled), and rules should cease being examined. It takes one
type of
option:
--to-destination ipaddr[-ipaddr][:port-port]
which can specify a single new destination IP address, an
inclusive range of IP addresses, and optionally, a port
range
(which is only valid if the rule also specifies -p tcp
or -p
udp). If no port range is specified, then the destination
port
will never be modified.
You can add several --to-destination options. If you
specify
more than one destination address, either via an address
range or
multiple --to-destination options, a simple round-robin
(one after
another in cycle) load balancing takes place between these
addresses.
Sincerely,
