Session Management and Mega-Proxies?

Posted by Cliff on Saturday December 22, 2001 @11:55AM from the complex-networking-issues dept.

chicagothad asks: "I help to run large internet systems for a few Fortune 500 companies. We are running several clustered systems, comprised of both Microsoft and Linux technologies. We have run into several problems with what is known as a 'mega-proxy'. A mega proxy is a way that large internet providers distribute their outbound traffic via a pool of IPs. AOL/Compuserve is the largest example of this. We are having fits with session management right now. Does anyone have any ideas on the best system structure or design to manage these beasts or any other tips that may be helpful?"

I push buttons on computers at several Fortune 500 companies for a living, and something about the "MegaProxy" gizmo doesn't work. Unfortunately, the $bignum that they pay me isn't sufficient for me to think of my own solutions.

I think they run Microsoft or Linux or something.

Can someone help?

Oh. AOL does something similar, I hear. Does anyone know how they make that work?

Please help.

Thanks, Bob.
