Actually no, because a smart load balancer like Zeus Load Balancer will (attempt to) send a specific client to the same backend machine everytime. This is necessary anyway for SSL. Otherwise, you would need to negotiate the SSL session each time, or have a shared SSL session cache. What you can't do is send a request to different machines based on the request URI or other info. For example, you might send requests for ASP pages to Windows machines running IIS, and requests for images and anything else to UNIX machines running Zeus. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
