The RedHat Load balancing clustering tool (piranha) might looks a bit complex, but in reality, it's just a fancy wrapper around ipvsadm which is the user-space tool for the kernel traffic director. I havent played with Nth module, but ipvsadm is probably more tested. So, we don't have a hardware balancer ? are we searching for a software balancing solution ?
I've used piranha in the past with great success but it requires additional boxes that we just don't have yet. We have one hardware balancer we use for the proxy servers. I'd like to stick one between the proxy servers and the application servers.
