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. Natural= ly, we are looking for fail-over and load-balancing solutions. (The load-bala= ncing 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 fundin= g 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 arch= ives for freebsd-questions wasn't searchable for some reason.) Any tips or lea= ds on this? I recently worked with Linux and LVS (on a Red Hat High Availability Serv= ice cluster), and that type of setup would be ideal. (Alas, changing to LVS i= s 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.
