I've inherited a back end system, various 'nix systems. I've already infiltrated 2 FreeBSD boxes onto the network, I want to continue. I need pointing in the right direction with a few things.
Load balancing: the outside world contacts our servers directly, I want to use a single entry point and a load balanced service, so I can add servers as needed. (I assume some sort of NAT goes on).
Virtual machines: I know Xen works, will it host FreeBSD ok? I want to build these servers as virtuals, I would prefer no jails just in case I should need to host another OS.
Or vmware?
