Questions about fair_upstream module

Hi,
I’m actually serving pages using nginx-1.0.13 on fbsd-8.2 amd64 with 3
backends (fbsd-8.2 amd64 with apache-2.2.22) and I’m using the default
rr
upstream algorithm.

I am trying to switch to an algorithm different from rr, and I am
thinking
to the fair upstream module.

Well, the homepage of the project seems quite old (and so it’s ticketing
system: http://nginx.localdomain.pl/report/6) and that’s not a good
starting point :slight_smile:

Anyway, “googling” around searching for tips and use cases, I found:

that seems a very old post.

Does anyone use fair-upstream module in production? Any hints or tips
before trying it?

Differences between fair-module and haproxy?

Thanks in advance,


d.

Just the note: nginx with nginx_upstream_fair module version 20090923
(i.e. dated material) available from FreeBSD ports tree.

haproxy is the different product, the proxy server.

So if I wish to use upstream_fair I have to compile it? Or newer
versions
of upstream_fair don’t compile on fbsd-8?

Yes, and I don’t want to install other two server carp’ed in a chain to
use haproxy :frowning:
