[AusNOG] Web Application Load Balancer recommendations

[Darren Moss]

Thanks Gents for your replies.

We currently use a customised Apache on Redhat as the preferred software
method for load balancing. 

The additional logic I was talking about is basically php code with a
MySQL DB that can redirect requests based on visitor IP. It's not
critical to have that logic integrated as we can farm it off to another
appliance or the application servers.

Cheers.

Putting a reverse-proxy cache farm in front of Web sites brings lots of
benefits, concur 100%.  Everyone should be doing it just for the
policy-enforcement options, not to mention the caching benefits.
