Load Balancers for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the it'-all-a-weight-distribution-act dept.

scales asks: "We currently use the Dispatcher component of IBM's WebSphere Edge Server as a load balancer on some Red Hat boxes where I work, and the boss has asked me to look into OSS alternatives. I've already been pointed at Linux Virtual Server and Ultra Monkey, and I was wondering if any readers have had any experience with these packages, or had any opinions they could offer about other products." Ask Slashdot last visited a similar topic way back in 1999, so I think it might be time for an update.

  2. OT: Moby attacked by RIAA goons! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I realize this is offtopic but this is major. MP3-loving artist Moby was attacked by three armed assailants after playing at a nightclub. Although Moby was unable to identify the assailants, some believe they were acting on behalf of the RIAA to "send a message" to Moby and other artists not to break with the RIAA party line that MP3s are evil. You can find the story here!
