About:
Pen is a load balancer for "simple" TCP-based protocols such as HTTP or SMTP. It allows several servers to appear as one to the outside. It automatically detects servers that are down and distributes clients among the available servers. This gives high availability and scalable performance.

[»] alternative XLB
by Moritz - Dec 19th 2006 01:45:48

Hi, sorry for the blatant advertising, but I just finished the first release of XLB, which is only for HTTP but includes a connection management and caching.

See http://sf.net/projects/xlb.

Thanks for feedback ;)
