Hi folks,

Was interested in what best practices are for high availability traffic server 
clustering.

Is it standard to have a setup like:

* load balancer with clustered apache traffic servers

I would consider local TCP anycast, using OSPF /quagga maybe.

* load balancer with multiple origin servers

Yeah. This is a place we desperately need to improve, the yahoo load balancing plugin was open sourced, but is missing vital code dependencies :/.

DNS RR should kind of work too, and there is a bug / patch that implements proactive health checks (the current implementation is reactive).

Any tips?  Any load balancing mechanisms that work best, things to look out for?

Thanks!
