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
