load balance vault server - possible?

[matzen]

Hi,

I'm currently using vault on one server. My impression of the performance is: it's slower in a LAN than vss, but it's a lot faster and more reliable on our vpn (using our 2 MBit internet connection that's shared with our productive servers).

Our productive servers do use a web load balancer to have one server name spit to multiple real servers.

Can I increase vault performance by using the same technique with vault? In this case the server name for vault will be vault.mycompany.com but for every request the load balancer will decide what real server to use (we can configure how to decide this).
Normally we use "least connection" with "no keep alive" for the balancing, so the requests from one client are randomly spread to different servers. Is the vault server "stateless" so that using load balancing will succeed?

CU,
Sven

Sorry - the Vault server currently caches the current copy of the tree, so load balancing wouldn't help. This is something we do plan to look at eventually.
