I asked this in the original one but since it’s old, let me ask here as well – one thing I don’t understand is, with the DSR setup, how the heck does the LB know the backend server’s MAC address? Can you help me understand this?

I have several providers to upload my data from my QNAP servers using the HBS tool and honestly the slowest one is BackBlaze. Why doesn’t BackBlaze invest in this kind of improvements…?

Cheers
