> You might want to try a hardware based balancer. Something like Local Director. Cisco bought Arrowpoint last year or so. I had the pleasure to play with their CSS-11000 and it kicks ass! The Local Director never was a good load balancer, it was more of a intellingent routing switch doing load balancing. You can achieve the same kind of thing with Foundry NetIrons and the like. The CSS-11000 on the other hand is a real layer 4 switch. It can do all sorts of things that makes it compete with big names like F-5 Big IP and the Web Director. If you are considering getting a load balancer from Cisco, go for the CSS family. my $0.02 Haim. -- Whatthehellhashappenedtomydamnspacebar?!?!?

Re: Advice needed : transproxy
Another way to accomplish that would be a Cisco router set to trunking. Evenly dividing the traffic flow to two servers.

I had transproxy running on a quite slow box (p100) for 30 clients, but tproxy caused quite some load if the proxy it was caching to was down... I never tried it with that many connections though. BTW: i guess you'll configure your router to send :80 traffic to the tproxy box? squid has a transproxy too, maybe it's better to do load balancing some other way, and let squid transproxy (read the squid faq for info about squid transproxieing) I don't think transproxy will handle such a load quite well, but you can try and find out :) -- ,---. > Name: Alson van der Meulen < > Personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > School: [EMAIL PROTECTED]< `---' Where's the GUI on this thing? -
