HydraWeb is the company that made those things.  We got a couple of them
right before HydraWeb went out of business... what a nightmare.  They were
the worst pieces of hardware I've ever had the displeasure of dealing
with.  Not only that, but people we were trying to contact kept getting
laid off.  The only reason we got our money back is because one of my
coworkers finagled the cellphone number of the VP out of someone.

If you want a good loadbalancing appliance, look at F5's BigIP product.
That's what most of the big ISPs use.  It costs about the same as the
Hydras did, but it actually *works*.

I would recommend to Hugh/Mike/etc that you drop reference to Hydra since
they don't seem to exist anymore.

Title: RE: (RADIATOR) HydraRADIUS





Hello all,


BTW why not use Radiator AuthBy LOADBALANCE. The price vs performance is good.
You can make 2 box for primary and secondary radius.
The hardware switch is too expensive.

Re: (RADIATOR) HydraRADIUS

2001-11-15 Thread Hugh Irvine


Hello Ricardo -

As you already use Radiator extensively, you should be aware that you can 
also use the load-balancing modules included in Radiator to build your own 
radius load balancer(s). Have a look at the AuthBy ROUNDROBIN, AuthBy 
VOLUMEBALANCE and AuthBy LOADBALANCE modules described in section 6.43 in the 
Radiator 2.19 reference manual. A couple of old Pentiums running Linux or 
FreeBSD would do the job nicely.

regards

Hugh
