Relayd and load balancing modes

[Ilias Bertsimas]

Hello All,

We are baffled by the relayd modes for relays as it seems some of them are
not working at all.

We are running  FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p7 and the latest relayd from
ports relayd-5.4.20131122.

We notice on relays with 2 hosts both of them up 100% we only get traffic
sent to just one server. We tried mode loadbalance/hash/source-hash without
any success.

We only get load balancing between the 2 hosts with roundrobin or random.

Both clients and target hosts are on the same vlan.

We also had issues with any version apart from the "stable" packaged one
that comes with FreeBSD 9.1.

We end up with 2-3 relayd child procs at 100% cpu without doing anything I
tried ktrace on them but there were no syscalls or anything else going on.

They are unresponsive and survive reloads and only can be terminated with
kill -9.

Any ideas what is going on ?


Kind Regards,

Ilias Bertsimas.
