I think we should make a wiki page about what people are using for load balancing.

Not sure, but UltraMonkey is the standard free linux route:

We had a quote for a 16-port 10/100Base-TX load balancer from Foundry, $11k
(with support and redundant power supply). Coyote Point
(http://www.coyotepoint.com) stuff might be a good option too, their base
model is $2k.

..... starting at like $70k :)

Not sure about 2 adaptors sharing app instances but what you can do is
use a Netscaler on the front end.

hi all -

looking for some best-practice hints and tips on building an
indestructible WO deployment environment :-)

i've attached some diagrams rather than try to explain what we've been
chewing over. layout1.pdf is pretty bog standard stuff. each node
below the load balancer is a bog standard WO deployment as per the
docs.

my question really relates to layout2.pdf and whether this type of
layout is actually possible. ie can you have 2 web servers (hence 2
adaptors) sharing a pool of app servers ?

also are there any known issues using hardware acceleration ? we're looking at load balancers that do SSL-handoff, http compression and
resource caching.

any hints on how others are building high availability into their WO
deployments appreciated!

thanks, simon
