load balancer recommendation
 

Hello all,

If I were looking for a load balancer to run on a Linux - specifically,
CentOS - machine - what would you recommend?

Thanks.

Boris.

And webseal, part of IBM's Tivoli, is NOT something you want to use.

You need to be more specific about your requirements. There are basic
IP-based load balancers such as Piranha, and more advanced layer 7
balancers such as HAproxy. They all have benefits and drawbacks, so
without any further requirements, your question cannot be meaningfully
answered.

What kind of traffic are you balancing? If HTTP, then do you also
need HTTPS support? What about session affinity? What kind of
backend application are you using, and will it support balancing as
well?

We use (an old) keepalived/ipvs in direct routing here...
Works fine; except for the apparent lack of good (up to date) documentation.

If you're talking about web traffic, I'd recommend Varnish: cache and
load-balancer in one application.
