Thanks... I have some plans to implement a load balancer a-la Cisco LocalDirector for FreeBSD, but this requires one machine to sit between clients and servers. Not sure when it will be ready as I have not found a sponsor for this project yet. Windows2000 seems to use a fully sw solution with a distributed algorithm for allocation but i am still a bit unclear on some details... cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
