I work at a company where we have many different hosts/domain and everything has to be SSL, although the actual application behind it is the same. The application does present different layout logo per virtual site, but otherwise internal and database wise its the same. Managing multiple hosts behind the load balancer with SSL was a pain. We ended up getting us an Alteon (Nortel) iSD100 setup, which is a SSL offloader. For the frontend we already had an Alteon AD3. The frontside still has all the different IPs per virtual host, but the actual servers only have now 1 IP, one config file with namedbased virtualhosts. You can use two AD3 for failover, as well as up to 32 of the iSD100 in a cluster (there are different models I just know the iSD100). Each iSD100 is capable of 7,000 sessions supposely, it has two hardware SSL cards in a 1U case. -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://seven.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html
