I'm in the market for a load balancer as we move more and more of our services to a web-based infrastructure. Protocols are many and varied, including: LDAP, MySQL, IMAP, SMTP, and many HTTPS sites, mostly Apache but some IIS as well.
If I could build a load balancer on OpenBSD I would be happy. I'm not against spending some clams on hardware; but maybe not as many as some of the high-end vendors want. What is your experience with load balancing in a small data-center? Software load balancing that have been mentioned: Octopus LVS/IPVS Balance NG Pure Load Balancer Hardware Load Balancers that I have heard about: Netscaler F5 KEMP P.S. No discussions about specific protocols please. -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
