The following URL list a 3com loadbalancing device. http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=features&pathtype=purchase&sku=3C16121-US IP route only distributes the load into two interfaces. What I am looking for is: for example you have a public IP 202.17.108.23 for ur web server and you have three web servers on which you want to load balance. what you do is assign them with private IPs 192.168.1.1-3. the linux box should be capable of translating (all incoming request) on the public IP 202.17.108.23 into the private 192.168.1.1-3 in a round robin manner. This is called L4 load balancing. brgds, Babar -----Original Message----- From: Dharmendra.T [mailto:dharmu@nsecure.net] Sent: Fri 2/8/2002 11:13 AM To: security-discuss@linuxsecurity.com; Babar Hameed Cc: Subject: Re: load balance server You can achieve this by using iproute.
