I've always used hardware ones. I believe big/ip does everything you need. However, if I were going to use a software solution I would be looking at Linux Virtual Server, probably starting with the Red Hat offering based on it.But meanwhile, we're still open to alternatives. Surprisingly, there don't seem to be many (software) options. (A hardware load balancer is not an option at his time, but I'll also take any suggestions in that area :)
Not a good idea. It would eat all your memory. You'd be much better off with the mod_rewrite solution mentioned in this thread.This brings me to the mod_perl angle. Has anyone ever tried using a slimmed down mod_perl server as a load balancer? Is this feasible?
