There are many full-featured proxy servers these days. There's even mod_proxy_balancer for apache, but that doesn't do high-availability, which you're looking for. Check out some of these for reverse-proxying if you don't like perlbal: - nginx - lighttpd - varnish - pound All of those can serve as mod_perl frontends. - Perrin
