LDAP != HTTP I don't think that HTTP servers (e.g., apache, nginx) software load balancers are going to help you here. We use hardware load balancers (Netscalers) in front of our LDAP servers, but if you want a software solution, I'd suggest looking at the built-in caching/proxy features of OpenLDAP which can be used to load-balance the back-end traffic to your servers. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> If you like Jazz/R&B guitar, check out LinkedIn Profile: my friend bigsbytracks on YouTube at <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> http://preview.tinyurl.com/bigsbytracks _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
