OpenBSD Acquires IP Load Balancing

Posted by Hemos on from the move-closer-and-closer dept.

xarc writes "OpenBSD 3.2-current has acquired IP load balancing support via its packet filter, PF. This is a great step for those of us who prefer OpenBSD, but are dependent on other OSes and software (such as Linux's Linux Virtual Server) to provide similar functionality."

    hope that makes you fell better!

    Thanks to you I fell wonderfully. It was quite a spill. I think I sprained my ankle.

    Thanks again!

    * You don't need journaling fs. Softupdate work perfectly, if not better. Only background fsck is needed.

    * You don't always need SMP.

    * OpenBSD can easily be ported to many embedded processors out there, thanks to the super portable NetBSD.
