five minutes in google turned up the following: http://www.inlab.de/balance.html (this is a tcp proxy, not a bgp thing) http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/lbnamed/lbnamed.html (Stupid DNS Tricks) http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/ (an apache module for redirection) http://www.supersparrow.org/ (uses but doesn't generate bgp information) http://www.bgpdns.org/ (Stupid DNS Tricks again, but based on bgp data) probably a whole hour spent on such research would turn up even more. -- Paul Vixie
