Hi Tom,<br><br>Do you think FreeNX is viable (stable & mature enough for commerical use) for >= 25 users? Interested to know your and others opinion, I am weighing up FreeNX vs NX Server for a similar or larger project.
<br><br><br>Cheers<br>E<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/11/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Tom Kavanaugh</b> <<a href="mailto:tomnaugh@gmail.com">tomnaugh@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<div>Thanks for your response.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am not sure too if LVS can do the load balancing for freenx.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since you have done some work on freenx, let me ask you about this hypotetical situation based on my knowledge of the citrix load balancer on solaris.</div>
<div>There 2 two freenx servers config with load balancing. Let's say the freenx load balancer directs the first user login to server1, the second user to server2, third user to server1, fourth user to server2, and so on. When the first user disconnects h/er freenx session, and reconnects a few hours later, s/he will be again redirected by the load balancer to re-connect to server1, right? Even if at this time server1 is very heavily loaded and server2 is lightly loaded. Because h/er initial session was off server1. Did I understand the concept correctly?
</div>
<div>Or, is there much more intelligence in the freenx load balancer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div><span class="sg">

<div><br>I'm not sure you can use LVS for FreeNX load-balancing. I think that in order to support suspending/resuming of NX sessions, you need a mechanism that allows you to recognize a session-resume-request in order to send the request to the server where the user left his session suspended.
<br><br>I don't think LVS is prepared to support this kind of stateful load-balancing for NX sessions.<br> </div></div><br></span></div>________________________________________________________________<span class="q"><br>
