Perhaps to help establish a lack of negotiating leverage, one should always ask for the non-compete clause to be removed in writing and then save the (highly likely) employer pushback for future use. In general, it's a good rule of thu

EDIT: I read the post more carefully - the reference to DNS was merely to highlight that often times a single public [V]IP can get overloaded and common mitigation strategies.

Given this is based on HAProxy and seems to improve the director tier of a typical L4/L7 split design, I'm led to believe GLB is an improved TCP-only load balancer. But they also talk about DNS queries, which are still mainly UDP5
