They weren't looking for load balancing in the "keep it even between identical hosts" sense, but rather in the manner that you might use a "load balancer" appliance to look at the SNI and direct the request to the correct machine for the given hostname. (See our conversation elsewhere on the thread for why they wanted to do this.)
- beagle3 9y agoThe SNI thing breaks down, because an SNI redirector (which is what GGP is after - not load balancer) strips the SSL and continues in plain http beyond; I think you have to specially compile sshd these days if you want it to accept plaintext connections, and it is highly discouraged (for very good reasons).
