[cross-post of my reply to Dustin's cross-post to the Lafix list] We're doing SSL clustering here using Foundry ServerIrons. These have an option to make connections "sticky" which keeps a client hitting the same server during his session. SSL also works without it, but then the sessions have to be re-established which kinda hurts performance.
Foundry's products have been really great for us. They have a Cisco-like configuration language, as well as web front-end. If anyone has any questions about them, I'll be happy to help. -Tim On Thu, 2001-11-08 at 10:22, john beamon wrote: > I'm aware of a few recent ads in some sys admin magazines for "hardware" > load balancers (that run load balancing software) that do SSL processing > on-board.
