Re: Load balancing software?

[Chris Chabot]

The LVS (LinuxVirtualServer) project does just that.. it allows you to do most types of load balancing, can do persistent sessions, and when combined with heartbeat or some other server monitoring tool, allso does high-availability (add & remove servers on the fly). Combine LVS with a good iptables firewall script, and you have a top notch solution..

You can find the code & docs on: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/

At work we're considering the purchase of a rather expensive load balancer so we
can spread increased traffic loads over multiple web servers. Does anyone know
of an open source software alternative to a hardware load balancer?
