Hi Misc

I have two CARP:ed openbsd machines, firewalling a couple of linux servers
behind them.

3 of the linux machines run apache1 httpd:s. If need be, I can upgrade to
apache2.
I want to setup redundant httpd loadbalancing to these 3 machines from the
openbsd machines.

I know PF can do simple round-robin balancing to these machines, but I want
something that can take the load of the apache running machines into
consideration and shape the traffic sent to them accordingly.

Would it be a good idea to use apaches own loadbalancing module, the
mod_proxy_balance, and run instances of apache on the openbsd machines?  I'm
assuming this would mean that I have to compile apache2 myself, right?

Or can anyone suggest a better way to do this?

Thanks
Christian
