I'm hoping to store several gateway IP's in a
hash table using HTable,
then grab one of them randomly. Does anyone have a recommendation as to
how this can be done, or perhaps a better way to do it? I chose HTable
because a) I want to reload the values every x minutes and b) I'm using
it for other purposes.
add in htable several keys:
- "gateway[x]" - where x is 0 to the number of gateways
- "gateway::size" - where to store the number of gateways
Then use the cfgutils module and get your gateway with:
$var(x) = $RANDOM % $sht(gateway::size);
$var(gwip) = $sht(gateway[$var(x)]);
FYI - although you may know - dispatcher has an algorithm for random
selection of destination.
Cheers,
Daniel
