Hi Rahul,

Well I only know of one method but it probably won't help you with fault
tolerance:

Use the iptables firewall routing feature as explained in
http://www.linuxsecurity.com/feature_stories/netfilter-print.html

According to the article (I myself have not tried this) you can re-route
traffic in load balancing sort of way with using something like:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -i eth1 -j DNAT --to
192.168.1.100-192.168.1.102

Personally, there wasn't enough of an explaination for me in the article and
it did not go into any ideas for fault-tolerance. However, I like the idea
that iptables should be able to do the job. It makes sense for this kind of
solution, because iptables already has most of the infrastucture to do this.
The fault tolerance could be easily added because extention modules can
easily be built for iptables. I wouldn't be surprised to find that someone
has already built something like this already.

Hope this helps!

Rob

Hi all,

Is there any (Open-source) module which helps in deploying apache with load
balancing and fault tolerance. Can any body help me out.
