Search Again: some problems with qdns 3.5 (crashes, load balancing) From: Matthias Gruber Date: Thursday, September 6, 2001 Time: 11:23:43 am hello, recently i did the upgrade from qdns 3.0 to 3.5. qdns server (3.0.1r2) and the remote agent and the load balancer are running on 2 motorola starmax adt4160 with 128mb ram and macos 9.1 with latest updates. the primary qdns machine is crashing very often with error 1 or 2. qdns is the only application on these computers (only autoboot and a retrospect are running too). the secondary crashes more seldom but sometime shortly after the primary. crashes do not occur while backing up, so i think retrospect does not interfere here. i think the macos is also clear. i did some tests and found that increasing memory for the remote agent and the load balancer increases the time until the next crash occurs. with the standard memory settings crashess occur a few times a day, now i have 8192kbyte set and the primary is up for nearly two days now... both machines were quite stable with qdns 3.0. i would be glad to provide more information. another question: i am doing load balancing for our webservers. one server is set to 9 the other to 1 so i expected to see every 10th packet going to the secondary webserver. the load balancer tools shows me only the primary server. when i stop the primary server then i get all traffic to the secondary, when i start the primary again, all traffic goes to it again. i checked if all qdns programs are running on both servers, and they do. bye, Matthias Gruber ----------------------------------------------------- (Networking, Technical Support) WOLNET Internet Service Provider Autorisierter Apple Haendler Hinterstrasse 21 Tel. 0271 2361830 D-57072 Siegen Fax. 0271 3331184 mailto: matthias.gruber@wolnet.de internet: http://www.wolnet.de/
