I was wondering if anyone used LVS for load balancing other services besides
WWW. Like Qmail, or ftp?

Was there any problems? Is this not a valid solution? Futhermore, how does
a hardware based load balancer stack up to to LVS?

Curious,
Robert Carroll

it's worked for all services tried, eg realaudio, squid. They all work.

Does it work with snmp daemon too ? i have tried without success. Anyone
got it working?

i just want to use the lvs NAT capabilities to redirect snmp queries to
one server inside my network. i think that should be no problem to LVS
to handle that. Any help will be welcome.

Thanx in advance,

I haven't tried it but I certainly will work. It's just UDP 161.

Could you please explain me why you would want to loadbalancer snmp queries?
Well, if you do them persistent, I could possibly see a reason behind it.

Don't know. Is SNMP a single port service? If so it should work. If it requires
multiple ports or makes call backs then you'll have to think a bit. It still
should be do-able.
