I need a quick tip on setting up a High availability load balancer in freebsd. Here is our current setup: we have a cisco router, and a class B network. All of those who acquired ipaddresses cannot pass through the router if destined to port 80. The router only allow 3 ip addresses to browse the web. Those three machines are the parent proxies. Now 2 other machines on the same switch acts as high availability, load balancer. It is currently running an old version of redhat, heartbeat, and ldirector. The router doesn't enforce all traffic destined to port 80 to go through the load balancer first. some web clients uses the virtual ip of the load balancer and thus being diverted to the right proxy(not heavily loaded) while some, uses goes directy to the parent proxies. On the setup I am planning, this is not yet a concern.. I just have to achieve the same setup in freebsd because those 2 load balancers are old and retiring. I'm looking at freevrrpd and pen at this site: http://redundancy.redundancy.org/fbsd_lb.html I need some more tips however. How will you compare this setup to the Linux HA. Any link or quick guide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
