| I need to find a piece of hardware, but for the life of me I can't think

| 
| Basically, I need a box to sit in front of two boxes that handles
| connections to those two boxes ... if one goes down, the 'frontend' knows
| and only sends requests to the other one ...

I realize you're looking for a hardware, and not a software solution, but I'm
astonished that nobody has mentioned Eddie at this point.

It falls under something close to the MPL, it's fully open-source, and it's
more flexible than a strict load-balancer.
