Auto loadbalancing with iptables & iproute2

[bert hubert]

Hi everybody,

Last week I had some disturbing thoughts on loadbalancing without a central
redirecting agent and today I wrote:

Please read it and tell me what you think. Basically you can take N servers
and give them all a single IP address, and have them all accept a share of
the load. And it is positively evil.

Let me know what you think.

Regards,

bert
