possible to load balance rsync?
I've googled and googled but can't find any good info on load balancing rsync.
I want to put 2 rsync servers behind a TCP port 873 vip to balance the load from many clients. I plan to use source address persistence (sticky).
Anyone done this? Is it possible?
- El_JefeNimbostratusI found a couple of folks talking about it - http://irbs.net/internet/postfix/0510/1911.html and http://nixforums.org/viewtopic.php?p=475707 Proceed with caution in rsyncing DBs / mailboxes without locking them down first is the general consensus. Works for static files, like config files, which I thought would be the case.
- rb1980_75708Nimbostratusyes, I came across those posts as well and they seem to be talking about balancing postfix, not rsync.
Guess i'll have to keep digging and/or just try it and see what happens.
- nitassEmployeei understand there is only one connection between client and server, so i think normal tcp virtual server configuration should be working fine. or did i miss something important??
