[Fedora-directory-users] How to achieve load balancing in multi-master set-up?

[Ankur Agarwal]

Hi,
   
  We have a 2 LDAP servers multi-master set-up. Procuring hardware load balancing is not
an option hence would request to pass on any information you may have to achieve
load-balancing through either :
  1) Some config in LDAP to achieve load balancing
  2) Software load balancer
  3) Some logic in custom application that people use frequently when connecting to
multi-master setup
   
  regards,
  Ankur

Fedora GFS includes the ClusterSuite tools which provide software load 
balancing.

For really basic load balancing, a round-robin DNS entry works well.
