Are the pool members 37/38/39/42 all separate Linux servers? Some on hardware and some vmware?

 

If you watch a single connection serverside with tcpdump to the hardware version and do the same with a connection the vmware server is the behaviour of the connection the same?

Yes, seperate linux servers, 2 physical, 2 virtual. TCPdump looks about the same. One thing I notice, is from the f5, pings to the physical boxes take about half the time (averaged over several pings) as compared to pings to the virtual servers.
