Hi=20

I am currently using the pf nat round robin functionality to load =
balance tcp
connections to 3 servers.

This works great! Currently load balancing about 32000 connections =
concurrently.

The 3 systems have different hardware specs and currently 2 of the =
systems are
running at 100%.=20
We will be adding more servers, but doing symmetrical load balancing to
non-symmetrical CPU hardware platforms is becoming a major problem.

Is it possible to configure pf to do non-symmetrical load balancing =
where a per
system connection ratio can be defined?

Are there any other technologies running on FreeBSD that will perform =
this task?

Regards=20
