Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was cleaning out my inbox and saw this neat little thing. I thought I'd pass it on to the FreeBSD community to share and enjoy. Anyway, the program is called Freequalizer, and it is basically a server management thingie that allows you to build a cluster of TCP/IP servers, and it does load balancing, network address translating (to allow any number of servers to sit behind a single IP address), server failure detection, and a lot of other goodies. Apparently this package has been out for quite a while, and is used by a lot of big Internet sites (they cite the Internet Movie DAtabase (www.imdb.com) as an example). And the best part is... it is available in a downloadable package form, *free of charge* to the FreeBSD community. (the free version has some limitations, though...) Still and all, though, IMHO, this is a Very Good Thing(tm), because any new apps ported and made available for FreeBSD can only benefit us. Maybe someone should hack up something for -announce re: this?... -----FW: <3.0.3.32.19980625150541.007c9dd0@shell2.ba.best.com>----- Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 15:05:41 -0700 From: "Coyote Point Systems, Inc. - Marc Roth" To: dburr@FreeBSD.org Subject: FreeBSD Hi Donald, Please take a look at our upcoming FreeBSD software announcement and let me know what you think. http://www.coyotepoint.com/freequalizer.shtml Best Regards, Marc Roth Vice President, Business Development Coyote Point Systems, Inc.
