Source Hash, balancing method, success cases request

Hi everybody, i need a little help about this: We have a situation with 50K connections at the same time to a active-pasive UM3 1.2.3 CVS Load balancers, but the networking guys wants to change the balancing method instead of using RR or LC, use SH, for abuse counter reasons (flow control, max errors from teh same IP address and stuff), the service is mainly SMTP and HTTP, have someone done this before is such a large scale?

Which one is the largest deploy in one active machine of this Method?

Does anyone have positive or negative comments about this? eventually only if needed we could upgrade the LBs to rhel4 and heartbeat 2 if needed.

Thanks in advance

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells
