How-tos

A couple of customers asked if our appliances would do G-Zip compression. In the past we hadn't given it much thought until someone offered us a card to test it!..

I’m excited and slightly scared by our latest product! Excited because I've become slightly addicted to launching multiple instances in different parts of the world and load balancing the traffic seamlessly. Scared because this could change our whole business model...

The vast majority of layer 4 load balancers use LVS in two-arm NAT mode...

Here at Loadbalancer.org we have recently started the certification process of our product with Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS)...

When you have users depending on Windows Terminal Services for their main desktop, it's a good idea to have more than one Terminal Server. RDP, however, is not an easy protocol to load balance...

I've previously blogged about how to get TPROXY and HAProxy working nicely together, but what if you want to terminate SSL traffic on the load balancer to use HAProxy to insert cookies in the standard HTTP stream to the backend servers?..

If you use HAProxy as the load balancer then all of the backend servers see the traffic coming from the IP address of the load balancer...

Standard Kernel builds of LVS (Linux Virtual Server) don't have the ability to load balance traffic that is from the local node...

Direct Routing aka. Direct Server Return (DSR) aka. N-Path is a great load balancing method. And it is, without doubt, the fastest method possible...
