Issue ID: 9599 Summary: Additional balancing strategies for lloadd Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: lloadd Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: ondra@mistotebe.net Target Milestone: ---
At the moment, lloadd picks a backend on a round-robin basis, taking the first one that can deal with the request. This has several disadvantages: - there is no way to implement a failover set up where certain (e.g. local) servers should be contacted as a priority - all balancing is implicit on the limits imposed on servers - a connection/server is a candidate until we've reached those limits
Allowing a priority and/or a different strategy to be set should address these.
