weighted rrd

[Artis Caune]

Hi,

I'm using redundant firewalls with carp and redirecting smtp traffic
to internal cluster of boxes:
    mx_external = "1.1.1.1"
    table <mx_internal> const { 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 }

    rdr on $ext_if proto tcp from <spamd-white> to $mx_external port
25 -> <mx_internal> round-robin

but problem is that some boxes are quad xeon, some old pentium 4 and I
need to weight connection count on each box (jus like cisco slb
weight).


I can do it like this:
    mx_external = "1.1.1.1"
    mx_internal = "10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2"
    table <mx_internal> const { $mx_internal }    # 10.0.0.1
duplicates are skipped

    rdr on $ext_if proto tcp from <spamd-white> to $mx_external port
25 -> { $mx_internal } round-robin

So server 10.0.0.1 get 4 connections and server 10.0.0.2 only one.

It just works, but maybe there are some nicer way of how to configure this?
