LVS is a kernel level load balancer/director. Combined with some userspace to keep the table of live real servers up to date it makes a very robust, very high speed load balancer for HTTP and non HTTP applications. IDK of any kernel side stuff in FreeBSD, and I don't know that there are any "general purpose" replacements like LVS is but for HTTP - varnish, nginx, and HAProxy. HAProxy can also do things other than HTTP. But these are all user space proxies. Not lower level like LVS where it doe packet rewriting/NAT. -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler
