Hi I am planning to create a sofware load balancer that will sit in front
of many socket servers in linux. The clients will connect to the load
balancer . The load balancer will maintain a table of alternative ips and
their ports. It will connect the client to the best available ip and port
and disconnect itself from the client.Thus it will go out of the scene.In
this condition ony connected devices will be the client and the new socket
server but NOT the load balancer.
Example : Cleint ip 10.1.2.3 port 1234
load balancer Ip 10.1.2.4 port 1235
list of socket servers in Load Balancer:
A Ip 10.1.2.4 port 1236
B Ip 10.1.2.4 port 1237
C Ip 10.1.2.5 port 1238
Now for the 1st request to the load balancer from client, the load
balancer will establish a connection between the client & server A
and disconnect itself from client.
for the 2nd request to the load balancer from client, the load
balancer will establish a connection between the client & server B
and disconnect itself from client.
for the 3rd request to the load balancer from client, the load
balancer will establish a connection between the client & server C
and disconnect itself from client.
Any Help on implementing this in Java is greatly appreciated.

Mahbub
