[lvs-users] Load balancing outgoing traffic

[Michael Gale]

Hey,

	Like I said in my last message, we are doing it for port 80 traffic. 
Which at the location in question is about 80% of the bandwidth being used.

Also, I think that if you use the "Direct Routing" method you can get 
away with out the proxy requirements.
