[olug] Clustered Proxy Servers

[Jon]

You have an overloaded gateway and want to share the work between two machines?  When you say it isnt'  a hardware issue do you mean that the network bandwidth can handle the load?  I would think you would logically seperate the nework and use a second gateway for half of it.  I know that when I worked with Telismart we had a round robin approach for serving up web pages from 3 aix boxes.  I don't know if you could do something like that.  Anyway good luck.
