You can use IPVS. There are tutorials on howtoforge.

Depending upon whether there is shard storage involved, databases, etc, you will want to choose from the LVS (load balancing) part of cluster suite or the high availability part of cluster suite.

It's inlab.de/balance.html For a serious ones: 1. Linux High-Availability (linux-ha.org) 2. RedHat Cluster Suite dan Piranha (redhat.com) 3. Linux Virtual Server (linuxvirtualserver.org) 4.

Interested in this discussion too, for reasons recently discussed...

Linux Virtual Server (linuxvirtualserver.org)Do all of these (or IPVS or Cluster Suite/GFS) take care of real-time sharing of storage (sessions, database, files, logs) between all nodes? For a LAMP or JEE or any other HTTP stack serving anything but readonly static files, this is usually a requirement. GFS is for sharing filesystem I know and there are howtos. So would you put Balance or LVS on top of GFS, or... Would HA/DRBD be on the short list? drbd.org in our case we have a two-node cluster anyway so this seems like the most straightforward option. Or would something else be superior, more up-to-date? Sam
