LoadBalancer With FreeBSD

[Arnaud Pignard]

There is no real great LB on FreeBSD :/

There is loadd how seems not very active project (never test).
You can do Round Robin with Ipfilter.

Else you can try pen / morebalance etc... but depend of your need.
They are just proxy. pen work very well.

Number of connection is not a big problem with good sysctl value and 
compilation parameter.
The limit will be the hardware bus and interruption.

PF+CARP is certainely the best choose (check freebsd-pf list).
But it's currently not avaible except with applying patch and seems not yet 
stable.
(UCARP should be soon avaible on FBSD)

Anyway, you will not find something like LVS.
