[opensuse-web] New ADC in Provo
I have been working on installing and configuring a new application delivery controller for Provo. We are now ready for some testing and would like your help. To test the new load balancer for those sites, you can add the following entries to your hosts file (/etc/hosts in *nix and C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in Windows): 130.57.66.2 login.novell.com 130.57.66.3 esp.novell.com 130.57.66.6 www.opensuse.org en.opensuse.org de.opensuse.org forums.opensuse.org news.opensuse.org lizards.opensuse.org I only included two of the wikis, but you can add your favorite wiki(s) to the last line. After you save your hosts file entries, just use the sites as you normally would. When we are ready to cut over, these are the addresses we will be using. Here are some of the fixes and features that we will get with this new load balancer: Some people have reported TCP level connection issues which shows as a page "spinning" indefinitely, often needing a refresh to make it load. So far, those who have tested through the new load balancer have reported the issue as being resolved. IPv6 redundancy (the current IPv6 setup is not HA) HTTPS support TLS 1.2, hardware encryption, TLS session reuse, false start support Later, I will add logic to enforce SSL for authenticated users to prevent session hijacking SYN cookies and other DDoS mitigations Connection multiplexing, which reduces demand on the web servers We are also investigating future enhancements, such as SPDY and application firewalls. Thank you all for your support, and happy testing! -Matt

Hi Matt, I'm currently using the new ADC locally and it's working fine.

Thank you for testing. Actually, you are all now using it, as we pushed it live last week. So far, the feedback from the forums users has been really positive. It fixed several performance issues, it seems. -Matt
