For those not on -hackers.

go to ftp.xgforce.com/pub/eCluster/2X4
I downloaded a copy. It's free for commercial use. there's a
linux port for kernel 2.2.5, and a port for sun sparc solaris 2.6/2.7
The following is its intro.txt file in the distribution that
i cut off and paste here:
The eCluster(tm) Server provides Network Traffic Distribution,
Network Failsafe, and Large Network Management features for
both Internet and Intranet environment, where one could distribute
network traffic among a large number of networked servers and
workstations.
eCluster(tm) is a highly scalable load-balance cluster system,
which can be scaled up to 8X1024, which means that there are 8
cluster groups and each group contains 1024 nodes.
Network Traffic Distribution speeds up Internet services. Web Servers
and FTP Servers will have distributed traffic. Network traffic will
only be routed to the server/workstation that is up, with
non-busy and non-crashed corresponding service(port), and with
most available resources. Otherwise, an email alert will be sent
to a prespecified email address where administrators can be notified.
It provides better performance and faster response to net users with
fail safe assurance.
The eCluster(tm) Failsafe capability allows non-interruptible
Internet services and Intranet services. Administrators may
take systems down temporarily for server and/or Internet service
maintenance without interrupting Internet or Intranet users.
It is a true High Availability System providing large scale of
redundancy.
Large Network Management helps administrators to view and
monitor the whole network at their finger tip. Once the network is
eClustered, statistics of each server and workstation can be seen
from a single console. Alert messages will inform administrators
any resource shortages, such as memory shortage, hard drive space
shortage, etc. Administrators will be alerted periodically if the
shortage condition or failure event is not fixed. The server or
workstation that is short in resource will be taken off-line
automatically by Clmd and connection request will be directed to
the server/workstation with most available resource. Administrators
can be notified by pager if you have email capable pagers, such as
Skytel.
