All,
I'm looking for a modest load balancer to perform SSL termination and
work well with Tomcat's cookie- and URL-based sticky session mechanism.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Decent H/W usually cost $$$
If Apache httpd is just as good for an environment that gets thousands
of hits per day, not millions, then I'm happy to run using that as well,
though maintaining a whole Linux machine just for httpd load-balancing
seems like more trouble than it's worth.
For that few hits, you might get away with just a VM.
Otherwise, let me point you to something :
search Google for "LEX NEO".
These are small disk-less and fan-less boxes, which can have up to at least 3 Ethernet
interfaces, and which run Linux fine on a compact flash or other static memory device.
We use them as firewalls and for other similar uses.
Extremely reliable (2-3 years already with no downtime), low power, noiseless, small, not
expensive.
