Subject: Linux Network Load Balancing is out!

Hi all!
I've just released my first beta of Linux Network Load Balancing....
it's a driver (+ userland tool) to make decentered load balancing
clusters.

I hope someone is interested in the project and could do some testing
in decent environments (I've just done some "laboratory" test in a 3
virtualized node cluster environment, but nothing more than this).

Sources and some documentation on http://lnlb.sourceforge.net/

Greetings,
Primiano Tucci

Question 1 , Is this driver module only ? Say I like all my drivers
contained in the linux boot image .
Question 2 , Where can I find a mailing list to subscribe to in order
to discuss , problems , success stories , ... ?

From the docs it appears to be almost a brease to setup . I'd greatly
like to see the driver be built into the kernel .

Tia , JimL

Actually it's only available as a module... i think that with some
little modifications it could be transformed into a patch to build
into the kernel. I've not too much time in these days (i'm graduating
on 10th October, LNLB will be my graduation thesis ;-) )... i'll try
to search about and see if it's a short work to do. If not I'll delay
the patch after my graduation,

Good point,
I edited the site and added a link to the project's forum page on
sourceforge (I think it's the best and quickest way to do it)
