Real Server Subsection - Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 5 - VIRTUAL SERVER ADMINISTRATION Manual

Scheduling
Select your preferred scheduling algorithm from the drop-down menu. The default is Weighted
least-connection. For more information on scheduling algorithms, see
"Scheduling Algorithms".
Persistence
If an administrator needs persistent connections to the virtual server during client transactions,
enter the number of seconds of inactivity allowed to lapse before a connection times out in this text
field.
Important
If you entered a value in the Firewall Mark field above, you should enter a value
for persistence as well. Also, be sure that if you use firewall marks and persistence
together, that the amount of persistence is the same for each virtual server with
the firewall mark. For more on persistence and firewall marks, refer to
"Persistence and Firewall
Persistence Network Mask
To limit persistence to particular subnet, select the appropriate network mask from the drop-down
menu.
Note
Before the advent of firewall marks, persistence limited by subnet was a crude way of
bundling connections. Now, it is best to use persistence in relation to firewall marks to
achieve the same result.
