LVS and SSL accelerator

mario.almeida · 04-14-2011, 07:06 AM

Hi All,

I need to do layer-7 load balancing.

Bit confuse which one to you.

VS/NAT
VS/TUN
VS/DR

My all sever would be in 1 data centre location. VS/NAT would be the solution for me, but can someone confirm this?

And also can I do SSL off-loading on LVS?

Hi,

Not sure about the 7-layer with LVS, but the only trick LVS uses to maintain application-layer sessions is firewall marking AFAIK.

IMHO, LVS-DR performs much better than NAT. Unless you have non-linux machine as real server, I suggest you go with DR.
