[JDEV] Mux mod_farm

[Rodolphe Duge de Bernonville]

    Hello,

 I am trying to work with mod_farm and mux, so I have a lot of questions
!


mod_farm :
    - It's ok, I have understood how it works, but it doesnt work at
all. So here is my first stupid question :
        - The farm part in jserver.xml need to be the same on all
server ?
     - Dont you think it would be cleaner to have two modules for
mod_farm :
         - to say to the client : "go on this server" (mod_proxy)
         - and the other to "route" the packet request with user on
other server ? (mod_farm).
     - Do you think it's safe to give to the client a so important role
in your load balancing architecture ?


mux (polld.c):
    - Ok fine you can have a lot of connections (at least 10000), thats
fine, but how are you going to do for the demux ?
     I mean what are you going to do to redirect the answer of the
server to the good client ?
     Are you going to put a new tag inside your protocol ?
     Or trickier :) as the jabber server uses Pth ... just send the xml
packet in a special order, and just read the answer of the server
and send it back to the good client (with the hope the special order is
the same ?)
