CARP does the job perfectly! Is you have to LB/RP from a front end (the SPOF?) you can also take a quick look on LighttpD with the Proxy module (very simple & efficient) In a heavier (but also quite simple) environment : * Two (or more) LB/RP on the front with lighttpdproxy - HA with CARP * Two (or more) Load Balanced Web "Back End" servers ;) On jeu, 2008-08-07 at 16:44 +1000, Michael Christie wrote: > Thank you all for your input.
