hello!

we are useing pound 2.2 stable in an productive enviroment. now i have two
backends witch are defined in an service.

i have not turned on any session directives. so as i can see the balancing
is not as good as possible. at the moment 6:123.

i have also read in the mailing list for this behavor. there is an post
witch tells about to use version 2.2.4 (beta) because the randomizer code
will be better.

can anyone tell me if it is possible to make an better round robin like
behavor between those servers? or can i use version 2.2.4 even its a beta
version?

thanks to all for your help and this is a wonderful piece of software.

thank you

You're probably best turning off dynamic scaling.  That seems to be 
advisable for production usage until the gremlins are excised.

Personally I run 2.2.6 + local patches, with dynamic scaling off.  Works 
quite well.  You'll find that even though the beta releases are 
considered "beta", they are quite stable.  The pound code is also very 
easy to understand, so you have a good chance of fixing bugs on your own 
if you come across any.

hello!

thank you for your answer!

is there an ./configure option in the 2.2 stable release? i do not read
anything about it in the documentation nor in the
--help switch?

as i read in the announcemen from v. 2.2.7 this is now turned off by default
and is an configuration parameter in the pound.cfg services.

should i take up version 2.2.7?

what did you mean?

thank you for your help!

best regards!

I thought so, but if you didn't see it in the ./configure --help output, 
then perhaps it was introduced later in the beta releases.

I haven't tried 2.2.7 as of this email, but I'll probably upgrade 
tonight or tomorrow.  My advice to you is to try it, but be prepared to 
rollback to 2.2 if something goes wrong with your particular setup. 
Safety first!
