Hi guys and gals, I am putting up a website on a somewhat small connection. I have a few questions that are bugging me a little. 1. If my connection is completely saturated by a few fast connections(dsl, cable, T1, ...), and a few slower ones(modem, ISDN), will the router automatically balance the bandwidth somewhat? Will the modems be hung out to dry? If another connection comes in to an already saturated connection, will they be hung out to dry? 2. Can I control how much bandwidth each person can have at the router level? If so, which package(s) can do this? Can make it so that if there's one high speed connection, they can use upto 95% of my available bandwidth so that if another person connects, they can have some bandwidth without my site looking totally lagged out? Would that matter? 3. My website will be comprised of multiple apache linux machines, since I don't have very good hardware. How can I provide load-balancing? I don't want to do a round-robin approach since my machines are not all the same speed. I'd like to balance the servers based on their load. I've seen mod-backhand for apache, but I'd really rather have the router do the load balancing. What software are you guys using? thank you, Justin Bauer jbauer@seas.smu.edu Google results 1-10 of about 113,000,000 for c. Search took 0.08 seconds.

I don't know about the other questions, but you should check out "Mosix" software.
thank you,
