Does anyone have or know of a reasonably current list or review/comparison of FOSS load balancing software? Preferably that are capable of doing more than just HTTP traffic. I am currently looking to be able to do load balancing and disaster recovery. i.e I have a primary site that needs to perform load balancing intra-site and a DR site that needs to be activated by the global load balancer and then have load balancing intra-site when it gets activated. I am aware of products like Cisco CSS (not FOSS) and Zues (again if I am not mistaken, not FOSS). I have all sorts of services and protocols like LDAP, ssh, http, dns, etc that all need to be handled - preferably by one product.

This is, I think, the link to that [gridengine.sunsource.net]. SISSL licensed, but you can get it. – sogrady Nov 6 at 18:28

I'm no expert on load balancers, but these are the projects/products I'm aware of:

Hope that helps. We'll see if someone with more load balancing expertise has some suggestions.

Update: I'd missed that Yahoo's Traffic Server is not an Apache Incubator project. HTTP only, I think, but 30,000 requests/second on one quadcore box sounds reasonably impressive.
