Re: [SQU] high-availability proxies

Florian

Take a look at Linux Virtual Server
(http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/), which can be used to create a
high-availability server "cluster". It's used in the UK for our national
cache servers, as described in
http://wwwcache.ja.net/JanetService/PilotService.html

Note that, although the "director" node(s) are Linux-based, the back-end
"real servers" can be running Linux, Solaris, or a number of other
platforms.
