Yep. Obviously I'm a fan of HAProxy based on my post history - but it truly is one of those transformational tools you only come across a few times during a career. It's basically one of those tools you end up looking for problems for it to solve it's so elegant. I have my HAProxy hammer, and everything is a nail! Cannot give Willy and team more kudos!

I am the same way, I advocate a lot for replacing legacy LBs (F5? Citrix? blech) and software not really suited for LB functions, a la Apache, with HAProxy. It's working out well so far. Combine that with a nice network and a tasty [EI]GP and be in pure web-serving bliss (of which I've only worked on two networks with that kind of design forethought, which is a shame).

  What do you mean by nice network?

    Based on the E/IGP comment, I'd guess they mean a routed layer 3 network that can speak routing protocols down to the host level. As opposed to the big ol flat networks that get pushed around frequently
