Hi Mike,<br>
My apologies, I didn't mean to imply an sort of X2Go product called Cluster Services. I'm simply referring to the Load Balanced implementation of X2Go Broker. As Begnt Giger mentioned, there is a significant amount of infrastructure behind the Load Balanced
implementation. I would certainly agree with his assessment of account replication in Postgres. While we could get around it, it would be a lot easier if we didn't have to. Additionally, Load Balancing implementation seems to require the ability for root
to write files to each individual's home directory. In our case, all of our user home directories are hosted on a central NetApp server, and that home directory export is root squashed.<br>
<br>
Due to the significant challenges we're faced with this load balancing implementation, I was hoping there may be another approach we could take to load balancing an x2go terminal server, such as load balancing ssh connections using ballast. This is purely
exploratory and theoretical. It just appears that certain assumptions are made about the network and service infrastructure environment with the currently offered load balancing implementation of X2Go Broker server that we are unable to meet, so I'm looking
for an alternative.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

What exactly is the "Cluster Services"? None of us has developed
something under that name.
With our project "X2Go Session Broker" there are indeed some caveats
regarding HOMEs on NFS.
Please report bugs / enter the discussion with us, so we can pin down
the causes of your problems.
Mike
