I was recently put in charge of a project involving FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE. The goal of the project is to configure a FreeBSD based web cluster. Naturally, we are looking for fail-over and load-balancing solutions. (The load-balancing solution would direct HTTP request to the best available web node. The director would hopefully run on a FreeBSD system as I was given no funding for additional hardware. Basically, FreeBSD or bust.) Are there existing solutions? I did a search of freebsd-cluster with the phrase "load balancing" and came up a bit short on information. (The archives for freebsd-questions wasn't searchable for some reason.) Any tips or leads on this? I recently worked with Linux and LVS (on a Red Hat High Availability Service cluster), and that type of setup would be ideal. (Alas, changing to LVS is also not an option.) Just an example of what would be really nice to have in terms of features for the solution. :) Regards, Dustin --- Dustin Puryear <dpuryear@usa.net> http://members.telocity.com/~dpuryear In the beginning the Universe was created.
