Dear All,

I am quite impressed by the Linux Virtual Server Project 
<http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org>.  Is there any similar project on FreeBSD?

One of my assignment is to provide a highly available web service 
(http/https) with limited budget.  The only solution I can think of right 
now is to use Linux Virtual Server to dynamically redirect traffic to a 
farm of Win2K web server (we couldn't affort to change the web server OS 
due to some legacy reason ...).   It would be great if there are something 
equivalent on FreeBSD platform, though.

The requirement is pretty simple:
1. load sharing among many real servers,
2. able to automatically detect failure real server and avoid forwarding 
request to it
3. low cost.

Any pointer/additional info is greatly appreciated.  Please email to me at 
ccegongw@nus.edu.sg.  Thank you!

Regards
Gong Wei
