Hi All,
I'm currently using a freebsd box running natd to forward port 80 to several (5) web servers on private IP's.
I have discovered that natd doesn't handle many requests/second all that well (seem to choke at about 200 req/second (educated guess))
There are other packet filtering options on FreeBSD and I wonder if I can use them to do what I'm trying to do with natd.
Would someone be able to point me to documentation or help me have either ipf/ipfw/pf forward port 80 traffic to private space IP's?
Is there a better way of split port 80 traffic across multiple webservers that has elduded me? Other then a comercial content switch that is :)
I've worked with the loadd port and ran into some problems, so I resulted in simply using some natd syntax to forward port 80 traffic to multiple servers... Now that seems to have run to it's limitation and I'm wondering if I can do the same thing with ipf/ipfw/pf as I believe that might be a bit more efficient.
Any feedback would be appreciated...
Thanks, Stephane.
