This may not be the right place to discuss this but I think it's worth a shot. I have been looking at the Linux Virtual Server project lately to find a solution of Layer 4 switching (load balancing) for web/ftp/smtp for the ISP I work for. I have noticed that the only type solution found for *BSD is the BigIP F5 hardware appliance running their own software with BSDi as the OS. I was wondering if anyone has thought of or made plans to incorporate some type of layer 4 switching into FreeBSD whether it is built into the kernel or whether it could be part of ports. I would like to "try" (I use this term loosely as I have no idea what I'm doing) as get something going like this for FreeBSD. I would also like for the solution to be open source as Layer 4 switches are expensive and there are not a lot of free solutions out. Anyone have any opinions on the idea? Maybe I'm way off topic here but I would at least like to start here. I need be, I will move the discussion elsewhere where it properly belongs.
