"I want to have my own burger restaurant. What do I need? How many burgers a day is needed? And is only one chef sufficient?" Can you answer that one? If not, then think about how you could be more verbose in your own question. – Janne Pikkarainen Nov 8 '10 at 10:47

You've also now asked eight questions over the past month, and accepted no answer on any of them. We see this as a red warning by your username, saying "0% accept rate", and it doesn't make all SF users terribly keen to keep answering your questions. You might want to go back to some of your earlier questions and accept an answer on each. Yes, sometimes no answer will be satisfactory, but to have asked eight questions, had answers on every single one, yet to have had no satisfactory answer rather beggars belief. – MadHatter Nov 8 '10 at 10:54

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

HaProxy handles many connections relatively well.. (taking into account CPU and Memory)

I have used in the past...

Heartbeat between servers using a ip resource. and a haproxy running on each server

HaProxy obviously load balances to each servers apache.. So if either fail, heartbeat moves the resource and it continues running..

Consider how much bandwidth you will use.. It might be worth have some standalone servers for HaProxy on commodity hardware if you need to push alot of traffic..

Hope this helps :)
