[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX distributed computing

[Tom Kavanaugh]

Thanks for your response.

I am not sure too if LVS can do the load balancing for freenx.

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.
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?
Or, is there much more intelligence in the freenx load balancer.

Thanks
\Tom
