How are other people handling load balancing? -John Hey John, Take a look at the LVS project, www.foundrynetworks.com and www.f5networks.com. I've used Foundry and F5 gear for load-balancing with session persistence and had really good results - cost might be an issue with both of these units. I have been putting together an LVS (DR) solution for some work that's similar to what your doing but haven't finished it yet. Steve
Re: mod_perl 2.0 trouble compiling = cannont find -lapr -laprutil
Is there a reason that we have to be this insulting? Beckman, I really expected more out of you. LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib APR.o -o ../../../blib/arch/Apache2/auto/APR/APR.so -L/usr/local/apache2/2.0.43/lib -lapr -laprutil /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lapr collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [../../../blib/arch/Apache2/auto/APR/APR.so] Error 1 [...] And I've had an Apache Head check my installs, configs, versions, lib's processes. So far everything checks out fine. !?! But, mod-perl still won't compile and neither will apr-util. As repeated many times here, mod_perl builds on top of other components that just keep on changing (one of the reasons why a production mod_perl can't be released). So if you take a released version of mod_perl, it *will* build and work with the apr/apache released at about the same date. If you use any later releases/cvs of these components and a new version of mod_perl wasn't yet released, you *must* use the cvs version of mod_perl, as it adjusts on the go to the latest changes in the components it uses. In short, you need the latest mod_perl from cvs. http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Installing_mod_pe rl_from_Source (scroll down to the CVS Bleeding-Edge Version) re: problems with building apr, email the apr list directly.

Just curious. cheers, Todd Take it from me, Todd, it is that bad. I'm fortunate in that I was able to make the move from contracting early enough to retain *most* of my salary and gain a huge increase in bene's but the calls I get now are in the range of WE WANT EVERYTHING for the 20 - 30 range. Take solace in the fact that everyone is just like you and I, they're not biting on those offers (ex... good friend of mine that was in the business 15+ years manages a strip club now instead of taking the crap tech offers). The pendulum will swing back in the near future, we've seen it swing this way before and when things get so f*$ed up that nothing is working properly it will start swinging back. Good luck, Steven
