Ok, first off I have not checked into this, so that said... I'm looking for a software based load balancing solution. I'd prefer that it run on FreeBSD, and figure if anyone has done this, they'd be on this list. I would like to have this device sit in front of my other web servers (or at least in parallel), process incoming requests, and automatically bounce between multiple systems for balancing and redundancy. Is there anything out there that will do this for me? Perhaps a happy little ports dir I can make install? :) Preferrably I could do something like this with redundant load balancers as well (single points of failure are bad)... Why not just buy a real balancer/CSS? Well, I have not found anything cheap enough to be a real alternative. If someone knows of a place for this I'm all for that since performance might be better or at least built for the purpose, but in the meantime... thanks! - Ralph To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
