Can I have some suggestions on how to load balance servers that are on seperate IP blocks? Is there any way to perform translation at this level? Exclude DNS based balancing please...
vrrp on FreeBSD is supposed to be a free solution to allow machines to watch each other and take over IP addressing if connectivity is lost. Depending on how remote your IP blocks are and how much control you have over the routing equipment in between, your only choice may be a commercial solution.
Don't forget pen, which runs on FreeBSD (and even NT according to the author). http://siag.nu/pen/ It's not for the enterprise, but does provide simple load-balancing for people who can't afford a proper switch. Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---
