Load balancing and web server

[themis]

(Sorry if this topic is not in the good place)

I have 3 Xserve with Mac OS X server for realise a web server. I search a solution to distribut the load betweens my servers.

Actually, I find many solution but based on Linux:

or the “Round Robin DNS” solution.

Have others solution based on Mac OS X (or others) ?

Thanks

Finally, I began with a software solution and maybe later for the hardware solution.

I want to use the “Failover IP” of Apple. But I have a problem.

I use two xserve for testing the solution (one xserve intel and one xserve G5). When my primary server is out, the secondary server take the primary IP (it’s good) but when the primary is up, the secondary don’t give the primary IP …

On the primary server, I have an error message: “the adress IP is already use”.

I read on the net that this technologie is not possible on intel … And is not possible between intel and G5 …

Maybe have you an idea ?

Thanks for your response 🙂

But now, the hardware solution is the only solution ? Because I have installed the “Round Robin” but If my “Round Robin” server is out, my web server is out …
