DNAT/NAPT

Hi,

I think that it is possible to achieve some kind of load-balancing between two servers using iptables NAPT (Network and port translation, which is usually called port forwarding).

I want to run 2 web servers and use my firewall to do some load-balancing between them, but I was wondering if it only forwarded the packets on some round-robin way, even if one host is down. To summarize, I want to know if I can do some automatic failover with iptables.

If you need more info, let me know

Thanks

Ugo
