Greg, > "Let them switch" is a fantastic idea in a world where network traffic in the > same subnet is exactly the same cost as network traffic to a location > hundreds of miles away. I truly wish I lived in that world, it would make my > life so much easier. I'm afraid we (my office and the LDM user's we're paid to support) live in that world. Sorry. > I am not sure why it would prefer the remote site over the local site, which > should be faster with less latency. Computers periodically run housekeeping routines. When that happens, latency can increase. There could also be transient congestion on your local network. > I guess the tolerances are too tight for our purposes. It would be nice if it > was possible to tweak whatever threshold it is. You could try modifying line 300 in file "protocol2/autoshift.c", then rebuilding and re-installing the LDM. Try the value 120 for two minutes (or whatever you want) and let me know it that helps. If it does, then I can add it to the LDM to-do list.
