I once used balance to do simple load balancing - I switched to this: http://directory.fsf.org/pen.html it offers more features in how it redirects traffic, instead of just a round robin (this is also supported if you want it) Check it out, also opensource and far more powerful.

Rob you kicked off interesting thoughts about scalability.

Would a poor-man, tcp-based  load-balancer like this, work with Red5 ?

My company has heavy-duty FCS use, both on single servers and using
Flash CDNs like VitalStream and Akamai. We regularly QA our servers
(and our streaming partners) against 500, 1000, 5000 and more RMTP
streams -- we've provisioned events for as many as 40,000 streams.

Once .4 is out, I'm planning on using our testing center to do a
reality check on Red5. If there are any particular scenarios you
would like me to test, let me know.

And John is right -- the single point of failure is a big problem. I
have spent some time working on a poor man's clustering setup for
Red5, although with the API in flux it's not a serious effort right
now. Definitely it will be a major component for me once the API
settles down.
