Linux virtual service using User Defined TCP Ports

[Mansoor Ali]

Greetings


We are deciding to setup a Linux Virtual Server to provide the load 
balancing between our two critical servers. But before going into the 
production environment I want to do a test with it. The scenario at my site 
is that we have one public server which communicates with my two internal 
private servers on TCP Ports 6666,8888 only. All of the other ports will be 
blocked for communication.

My concerns are as follows:

1. Does Linux Virtual Server supports the load balancing based on user 
defined ports?

2. As our the productive environment will be highly critical and 
availability is supposed to be the 100% what will be the suggestion for the 
deployment of LVS?

Also if someone can give special considerations or suggestions for the 
deployment of LVS, that will be highly appreciable.

With Best Regards

Mansoor
