Re: Web server fail over setup

[Peter Milanese <milanesefamille@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey-

   I ran LVS for about 5 years, mostly while it was in its infancy. We do over a billion hits a year, and I had it running on VERY small machines, heading 4 others with many Vhosts. It cost a couple of grand for the two boxes.

  The result of this was proof that we needed the solution, and we should invest money in it.
 
  A couple of years ago, we replaced the LVS boxes with F5's. The F5's are linux based, and get the job done quite well. It's going to cost about 30k+ to get involved though. They have been doing the job quite well ever since, and route about 30 virts to various backend devices.
