Hello guys,
Willy Tarreau's written a nice article on load balancing that covers
layer 4 & layer 7 options.
I still don't think layer 7 can ever give high availability.. but its a
good read:
Making applications scalable with Load Balancing
http://1wt.eu/articles/2006_lb/
A very nice and to the point introduction. Willy, among being a nice
person and a good friend, is an excellent engineer with a lot of
expertise in high available, high performance and secure web services,
networking and packet filtering and much more. It would be nice to have
Willy contributing to/on this list as well :).
He's written HAProxy which I'm just testing now and so far it looks very
good.
It's rock solid.
It should probably be added to the LVS docs somewhere as a layer 7
solution?
Absolutely.
Supports cookie insertion & SNAT etc.
I don't recall anyone mentioning it before?
Nope, probably not.
Thanks for the heads-up, Malcolm and best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
