Just a quick warning if any of your servers are going to run ssl. Load balancing in this form cannot really be done against an ssl transaction - something I've found from research and experience (unfortunately, the experience came before the research) :-o
Seriously, though, if you want to properly load balance anything that uses w/ ssl you should handle the ssl decryption / encryption between the user and load balancer, NOT between the load balancer and server. Here's a good link to check out for more info. Maybe not completely appropriate for what you're asking, but good background anyway: http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a//onjava/2001/09/26/load.html -Lawrence -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth E.

I didn't say it wasn't a god idea. As a matter of fact, it is a great idea, and it' already on my "ToDo" list. I just didn't want everyone suggesting the same thing ;-) C-Ya, Kenny -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tact is just *not* saying true stuff" -- Cordelia Chase Kenneth E.
