Hercules Load Balancer Virtual Appliance
Hercules is a tiny but mighty load balancer appliance. It can be used to balance requests using any of these TCP protocols:
- HTTP
- HTTPS
- SMTP
- FTP
- POP3
- LDAP
It runs on a linux os built from scratch to have a minimal
footprint. It can run with just 32MB memory for normal usage and you can increase memory requirements for the appliance as you need. It also has a built in web server, ssh server, dhcp client. You can administer the machine remotely via ssh. It is setup for dhcp so the networking is setup automatically. A webserver is installed to both serve up this page and to help you test different configurations. The load balancing functionality is provided by the excellent open source project pen.
