Load balancing is where you have more than one service that will do a job (eg multiple drives, multiple CPUs, multiple machines, multiple links to a network, etc) and you want to share the burden of supplying the service across the services (usually transparently). Example: to have two dialups to the internet and pretend you have a single double speed link. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ So a co-worker had never heard of DIVX but I told her about it and she replied: "so, basically it is like paying $5/600 for a cable box that has one channel....pay-per-view....yeh, that's a real winner!" - Peter Suciu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in alt.video.dvd _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
