We are merging 6 servers into 1 MUCH more powerfull server, all of which ran
the same daemon on the same port. This daemon is not multi-threaded, but is
select() blocking I/O, and when we are going to merge the machines, this
daemon won't be able to handle all the requests. Since we are mapping all of
the IP's to the same machine (Virtual IP's), I was wondering if I could use
a firewall to "load ballance the ports", where I could say that all the
traffic destined for A.A.A.1 port 1111 goes to B.B.B.B port 1111, but all
the traffic destined for A.A.A.2 port 1111 goes to B.B.B.B port 2222, etc...
I am just wondering what FW software is capable of doing something like this
(FW-1, Raptor, PIX..)?
This is, also, probably the best way to justify implementing a $200K+
security budget <G>
