Hey Mike,
3) Proxy server upgrades. Right now our proxy servers are running stock
RHEL4. We've been meaning to upgrade them to RHEL5 for a while now but
they are on a different network segment then the rest of our hardware
and as such we cannot easily pxe boot them (it would involve a request
to the SOC). I'm going to put a plan together to do this and minimize
any risk that may come up. The main benefit being mod_proxy_balancer.
I'm still hoping we can acquire some hardware balancers but this will
help us limp along for this release :)
Have you looked at using iptables for load balancing? Nth module could
help with this.
Honestly I didn't. I thought about using some of the RH clustering
suite but it will add a bit more overhead then we want for our current
environment. Do you have a link to some good documentation for iptables
based load balancing?
