I am looking for a load balancer that:

  • Is good stuff (free, open source, documented)
  • Handles SSL
  • Workers register in the load balancer, instead of listing workers (like jboss mod_cluster)
  • works with apache tomcat (unlike jboss mod_cluster)

Anyone knows a load balancer that can do this?

If it's really good stuff, it's neither free, nor open source, nor well documented! – Michael Goldshteyn Oct 18 '10 at 18:31
how constructive :) – Julio Faerman Oct 18 '10 at 18:53
and invalid..... – KevinDTimm Oct 18 '10 at 18:56
@Kevin, that was meant as a joke. Maybe I'll add a smiley in next time, to resolve any ambiguity. – Michael Goldshteyn Oct 18 '10 at 19:15

Without the smiley, it's not a joke ;) – KevinDTimm Oct 18 '10 at 19:41

ServerFault uses HAProxy (free, open source, handles SSL w/stunnel, runs tests against clustered servers instead of waiting for clustered servers to register, and supports a wide variety of configurations).

Here's an HAProxy/Tomcat howto if you're interested in trying it out.
