About: I'm Cross! is a script that installs cross-compiler toolchains that target Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X on a developer's Linux workstation.

It supports VRRP to set up high availability configurations on multiple nodes. It supports SNMP, integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with Net-SNMPD. It integrates pcap packet dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a "transparent forensic logging bridge". Changes: BalanceNG no longer responds to ICMP ECHO (ping) requests to native OS addresses if "ipforwarding" is set. This has been fixed in the stable branch as well, resulting in 1.926.
