[net.unix] Load Balancing

mjs@j.cc.purdue.edu (Mike Spitzer) (09/02/86)

Are there any sites out there running the Maitre d' load balancing
software?  (load balancing involves exporting jobs to less busy
machines in a multi-machine enviornment).  Are there other software
packages available that serve a similar function?

Maitre d' was described in a recent Usenix newsletter, for those of you
who are interested.

I would appreciate feedback from sites running Maitre d' (How well it
performs, bugs, etc.), or comments about other load balancing
software.

		Thanks.
