    Willy Tarreau made this software, and he's our new 2.4 kernel maintainer. That sounds prommising :)

    Yeah! And IMHO, this software has really great internal architecture!

    I completly agree.

    Hi ...
    I've heard so much of HA Proxy ... many websites talks about it, recomment to use it ... I have checked the web sites, read the manuals and ... guess what ... not a single example or configuration file in the whole world wide web :))

    any one knows of some samples on how to use it?

    thanks,

    Jean

    This software seems perfect for my needs but after studying the readme's and docs for an hour I am no closer to even understanding how you install it. I checked out the above article but that's Debian and I'm running Centos 5.1, I tried running it install as:

    make TARGET=linux26 CPU=i686 REGEX=static-pcre

    ..but that does not work for some reason :(.

    Hi IAN, just go to http://haproxy.1wt.eu/ and download the binary glibc 2.2 version, and run it! You don't even need to compile it

    I have chosen HAProxy for a site that is launching next week.

    16 APP Servers handling the donations for a major fund raising event. Last year they took $6 million.

    Oh and the site is only up for 5 hours :)

    It's an excellent piece of software, I'm very very surprised at the performance and ease of use.
