YangXin, You have a very good understanding of the software. A cluster director does do TCP proxying, and it is usually more complex than the TCP proxy software I'm using on ultrazone (called Balance); <http://www.inlab.de/balance.html> In building a real cluster, I'd recommend LVS for load balancing and Heartbeat for high availability/failure detection; <http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org> <http://www.linux-ha.org> The only change I've made on your system so far is to the ldmd.conf file by changing ultrazone.ucar.edu to ultrazone.ucar.edu:8080 and restarting your LDM with "ldmadmin restart". I've also built balance in /usr/local/ldm01/tmp ans started it running; $ ps -ef | grep balance | grep 8080 ldm01 18415 1 0 Mar30 ? 00:00:00 ./balance 8080 localhost:388 Can you ask your network people to open port 8080 on your system so ECMWF and NCAR can connect to port 8080 on tigge-ldm.cma.gov.cn? In the long run, will it be simpler to use port 8080 or find out where and why the LDM port 388 is being throttled?
