[lvs-users] slow ramp with WLC (weighted least connections)

[Phillip Moore]

WLC works well for us except when an idle server is added back to taking
load. This is the common 'thundering herd' problem. I saw in the old howto
this was fixed with a patch for slower rampup for new nodes. But it doesn't
look like this was ever accepted as a patch.

Is it there and I just not recognizing it in the code or was this never
solved?

The old patch I mentioned is mentioned here:

Thanks,
Phillip
