I don't want to have a dedicated machine doing load balancing for multiple web servers since it will be a single point of failure. Instead, I would like to have a utility running on all the freebsd machines that check each other in a cluster and take over for the overloaded node based on predefined rules. I am not sure if this even exists since I could not find a solution yet on the web. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Regards, Anjan
