I have tested pen. It's easy to set up and works fine so far.We've been struggling with load balancers for a while now. My requirements are pretty simple. I have a handful of plain and mod_perl apache servers, So...suggestions? How are other people handling load balancing?
The server has only 70k hits/day. I don't know how
will it work under heavy load. The purpose was to keep
working if one server was down.
Pen is a load balancer for "simple" TCP-based protocols such as HTTP or SMTP. It allows several servers to appear as one to the outside. It automatically detects servers that are down and distributes clients among the available servers. This gives high availability and scalable performance.
