The RedHat Load balancing clustering tool (piranha) might looks a bit complex, but in reality, it's just a fancy wrapper around ipvsadm which is the user-space tool for the kernel traffic director. I havent played with Nth module, but ipvsadm is probably more tested. So, we don't have a hardware balancer ? are we searching for a software balancing solution ? <div>On 5/11/07, Mike McGrath <<a href="mailto:mmcgrath@redhat.com"> mmcgrath@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Damian Myerscough wrote: > Hey Mike, > >> 3) Proxy server upgrades.

Nth module could > help with this. Honestly I didn't. I thought about using some of the RH clustering suite but it will add a bit more overhead then we want for our current environment. Do you have a link to some good documentation for iptables based load balancing? -Mike _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com">Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com </a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list</a> </blockquote></div>
