Hardward load balancing is when you use specific types of network equipment which present a single external interface while directing traffic evenly between the servers behind it. Software does the same, but you'd install it on a server acting as a front controller. You can use the mod_proxy & mod_proxy_balancer Apache modules for this.
Or you use openmosix and make a pool of boxes act as a single server image with apache forked processes being distributed across the pool. The pool is self balancing and the management console is flashy enough to impress PHB's. :-0 Jacqui --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
