Antw: LVS-NAT

[Gustavo Mateus]

Looking at the docs 
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.LVS-NAT.html#lvs_nat_performance

Cisco, Alteon and F5 solutions are all NAT based. The real limiting 
factor as I understand it is the capacity of the netcard, which these 
three deal with by using gigabit interfaces."/

Not using the director as firewall, just for load balancing:
What do you think is the LVS-NAT limit on a xeon dual core 1.60 Ghz with 
2 GB of ram and gigabit connected?

The info on the documentation seems to be kind of old, does anybody have 
some fresh experience using nat and more than 20 real servers?
