Hi, I'm running LTSP based on Intrepid with about 20 thin clients connected. Hardware is 2xXeon 3Ghz and 4gb RAM. Apps are Open Office, Gimp and Firefox. It seems to be enough to handle for our server so I've been looking around for best practices about load balancing. So far I've found:
DHCP based load balancing Advantage: simple to set up and 50/50 load balancing. Disadvantage: It doesen't consider CPU and RAM load and only work for two servers Open SSI Advantage: Takes care of CPU and RAM load and can run on more than two servers. Disadvantage: seems to me a bit tricky to set up. Ultramonkey My knowledge is not enough to have an opionon. Mille Xterm My knowledge is not enough to have an opionon. My needs are an "easy-to-set-up" load balancing based on CPU and RAM use that can serve about 80 thin clients with our applications. Is there any more ways to accomplish load balancing than those above and is there any best practices?
