While you're talking about software load balancing. How about HA-Proxy with stunnel with xforward-for patch. Anyone had any experience with these? Jean-Francois Pirus wrote:
I am looking to provide a load balancing solution to a client for an online ordering system which will use SSL.
I am interested in different solutions being deployed out there and any experiences with the following:
- Squid reverse proxy - Cisco Content Services (CSS) Switch 11500 series - Radware AppDirector 1000 - CoyotePoint e250GX - Any others?
In the pure load balancer: BalanceNG http://www.inlab.de/balanceng/index.html
In the Squid type (ie: http accelerator / load balancer) Varnish http://varnish-cache.org/ Pound http://www.apsis.ch/pound/index_html
PS: I haven't used any of them I just researched them in the past.
