Load Balancers

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I was not really sure where to put this post. They are kind of network related, but can be software based, virtual appliances etc.

 

Anyway i am looking at the possibility at getting a load balancer to cluster exchange and maybe use for our RDS farm. Do many people of here use them please?

 

Thanks

Not for exchange, but for web filtering we recommend and use loadbalancer.org - they should be just fine for exchange & rdp too.

A Linux box running HAProxy can easily do this for you too. I'm surprised this isn't something you've considered offering at Smoothwall @tom_newton?
