Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : fair Version : 0.5.0 Upstream Author : Wessel Dankers * URL : http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/fair/ * License : GNU GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Daemons for implementing load balancers fair is a system for implementing load balancers; it consists of two daemons: carrousel and transponder. Carrousel, which performs load balancing services, typically runs on a load balancer; transponder runs on the servers. Fair understands network topologies where one node is reachable via more than one IP adress; this allows not only the servers, but the network to be redundant as well. This distinguishes fair from other load balancers. This software has been running for about 3 years now at a Dutch University, loadbalancing the central email infrastructure. So I guess it could be considered mature software. Currently, a package for sarge is available from deb[-src] http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/debian sarge fair .
