Great post, you said things better than I ever could. So I'll nitpick instead :) > You really dont want to announce your routes from the same host that will serve your traffic. Separate your control plane and data plane. Its terribl

Ok, I understand what you meant now. I do disagree - it's simply doing what routers do, and has no specific knowledge or configuration for the VIP. It's simply forwarding traffic based on a destination table just like any other

Show up with a friend or two. I've now done this three times (once for me, twice for other friends), with good results each :) Cops won't do anything? Well, I sure as hell will! Edit: Obviously keep in mind your safety, not all

I haven't kept up on it, when did they add TCP state syncing? Edit: Glanced over the docs, I don't see this listed as an obvious feature. So I'm missing what your point is. If you mean you can failover a VIP instantly, sure

This solution works, but as you point out balancing over your load balancers is a huge hack and relies basically on DNS. If you replaced wackamole/DNS RR with BGPd on your varnish/pound boxes, you would achieve the same goals but

You're not understanding how this works at all. Your router/switch doesn't "combine" the vips. Ignore the running of bgpd on the webserver - that's really an extremely specific use-case that is not useful for

Agreed. Also many applications for this you might just not care if a flow gets broken. Really depends on your use case. Persistent hashing is key if you care about it though, I honestly don't know which routers do this off the top of

Really? If you can't understand this, or why it's better than almost all other architectures for massive horizontal scaling you're not thinking it through. I've run similar setups utilizing ECMP -> HAProxy -> cont

I'm going to say that the hardware implementation wasn't a hack job at all. Their "competitors" at the time had far worse implementations, even if it was a single VGA output (who cares?). This way 3dfx could focus on 3

Yep, came here to say pretty much the same thing. There are also some mountain bike trails of so-so quality down by the "blue bridge" in North Minneapolis over the Mississippi. I grew up around there so haven't checked it o

Then you've done nothing controversial on the Internet. Death threats are simply background noise. As a hosting provider I don't think a day goes by we don't get one about something or other from some crazy. Most of these p

Yes. Very much harder. One can be done at line rate on any halfway decent router, and the other requires deep packet inspection which is considerably more expensive.

I think this more or less nails it. I'm not a programmer, but I have hired a few in my day. My best hire I've ever made was out of high school, and this kid blew away any developers of any age by 3-5x easily. He now is 15 years

I personally hate this model. Layer2 networking architectures like this need to finally die off, as they are extremely complex and difficult to troubleshoot. For high-availability HAProxy I've found ECMP to be by far the most simple w
