[ULTRAMONKEY-USERS] What persistent exactly mean?

[jeff at bofus.org]

Here is the LVS website explanation

*In the persistent port, when a client first accesses the service, 
LinuxDirector will create a connection template between the given client 
and the selected server, then create an entry for the connection in the 
hash table. The template expires in a configurable time, and the 
template won't expire until all its connections expire. The connections 
for any port from the client will send to the server before the template 
expires. The timeout of persistent templates can be configured by users, 
and the default is 300 seconds.*

So, according to the way I read this, if the client is still active (not 
idle) the connection template will not expire.
