Some HTTP load balancers perform additional duties such as acting as a
web application firewall (WAF). The load balancer/WAF helps to weed out
attacks (and balance load) leaving the back end servers focusing on what
are seen as legitimate requests... each portion of the reverse proxy
environmen

if you have thousands of connections you need to have more servers and
then a balancer will help spreading the load (not increasing performance)
among all the servers, or add bigger figures to your mpm settings in your
single server (if the hardware will be able to cope with it).

Thank's Eric, I understand.
But if configuring a load balancer I'm adding another hop with reducing the
performance, seems that is not the best way to improve this performance,
correct?
As I explained before, it's only a test setup before move to a real
environment.
Now I have a single server (8

I see -- I think this is a case where you aren't taxing either backend
and you've just added another hop.
This is probably especially true when testing static files.

I would expect that adding anything (including a load balancer) in the path
would increase the time.

Hi, I'm trying to understand how to load balancing works and testing it's
benefits, and I'm in a trouble: in my tests (using ab command) I got better
performance without the load balancer.
