pgpool is a connection pool server for PostgreSQL. pgpool runs between PostgreSQL's clients(front ends) and servers(back ends). Well there are a few solutions out there. The first comparable product for MySQL is MySQL Proxy. http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/MySQL_Proxy There is the C-JDBC solution, now known as Sequoia. It was a project of ObjectWeb, now known as OW2 Now it is a part of the Continuent technology line as an Apache 2 licensed Open Source solution. https://forge.continuent.org/projects/sequoia You can read about some other options in an article I wrote on the MySQL Developer Zone. MySQL Failover Strategy using State Management, introducing MPP - Part 1 http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/failover-strategy-part1.html Thanks for your feedback. If you happen to remember the name of the hardware load balancer you used, I would sure be interested to know the name. -RG -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
