It looks really interesting but I have no idea how how to go about trying it out as I'm not exactly sure what it is supposed to do and don't understand exactly what all these options mean. I've consoulted the netfilter website and googled far and wide but haven't had any luck finding any examples or more documentation. Is anyone using this thing? ~> man iptables <--- snip ---> CLUSTERIP This module allows you to configure a simple cluster of nodes that share a certain IP and MAC address without an explicit load balancer in front of them. Connections are statically distributed between the nodes in this cluster. --new Create a new ClusterIP. You always have to set this on the first rule for a given ClusterIP. --hashmode mode Specify the hashing mode. Has to be one of sourceip, sourceip-sourceport, sourceip-sourceport-destport --clustermac mac Specify the ClusterIP MAC address. Has to be a link-layer multicast address --total-nodes num Number of total nodes within this cluster. --local-node num Local node number within this cluster. --hash-init rnd Specify the random seed used for hash initialization <--- snip ---> ~> Jason Joines =================================
