How do I do load balance for GateKeeper?
There are at least two ways you can do load balance for GateKeeper. One is to use low-level devices to redirect TCP traffic among an array of GateKeepers when there is no callback involved. It is made possible in GateKeeper 4.0 because GateKeeper doesn’t keep states anymore except for callbacks. Another way is to use GateKeeper build-in load balance mechanism. Currently you can set a master GateKeeper and a set of slave GateKeepers and cluster them together through property file. Both the server or the client only has to know the master GateKeeper. The master GateKeeper will do round-robin load balance among the set of slave GateKeepers. The load balance is done at object level. That is each object will be redirected to one of the slave GateKeepers at the first request. You can also use GateKeeper 4.0 to do load balancing for VBJ 3.4 clients and servers. The other benefits coming along clustering GateKeeper is provide fault tolerance on those slave GateKeepers. To configure the master
