There are plenty of load balancing appliances we could use. They can also handle: - geographical redirection - local load balancing - maintenance page - HTTP compression Some can be used as DNS proxies and for DOS protection / firewall. I think Mark deployed some foundry switchs from Brocade. That vendor also have load balancing appliances. -- Ashar Voultoiz _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
