Load Balance - "Incoming Ports" - Cluster - rgmananger

[macm]

Hi Folks

I have connections coming into port 8080, my router create a port forwarding (8080) to my first server 192.168.50

I want load balance to other 3 servers
192.168.51
192.168.52
192.168.53


So I install http://www.inlab.de/balance.html
make
make install

and I receive errors
install: cannot create regular file `/usr/sbin/../man/man1': No such file or directory

But balance was there (/usr/sbin) So I think is ok.

So I tried

/usr/sbin/balance -f 8080 192.168.1.50:8080 192.168.1.51:80 ...

and A lot of alternatives

When I restart my server "balance" run but dont work

If I stop balance command I start receive errors
bind(): Address already in use

So this is my second problem


http://www.inlab.de/balance.html isnt clear about what I need to do to "share memory"

Should be simple. Someone have a idea how can I "load balance" incoming traffic from port 8080 to
the same server 192.168.1.50:8080
and to others 192.168.1.51:80 ...52:80 ...53:80

My service is http/Apache.

Like I said should be simple and should be my first step to "load balance environment" my servers.

I know I should do my homework and I am doing so I am studying LVS, HeartBeat, Cluster Management (rgmanager service) .

rgmananger should be the solution to do this too, but I cant find good documentation how to use it.
Just:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/c...mt-scc-CA.html

So I love Fedora and I want use it to balance my Apache Trafic but FreeBSD® is more compatible with balance(http://www.inlab.de/balance.html) like they said.

Fedora 8 or even the new Fedora 9 will have some cool thinks to create this feature or someone can help me with these lot of questions?

Best Regards

Rgmanager is not a solution when you need Active/Active setups (load balancing). It is more for high availability Active/Passive setups. I don't know anything about InLab balance, but you should be able to do everything with ipvsadm for balancing and keepalived for monitoring.

# yum install ipvsadm keepalived

There are several guides out there on how to use these tools. A quick google turned up http://www.ultramonkey.org/papers/lvs_tutorial/html/. http://linuxvirtualserver.org is also very good
