Maybe some of us need to balance TCP connection through several server. This is a simple way to do so.
1. Download the package
wget http://www.inlab.de/balance-3.40.tar.gz
2. Extract, compile and install:
tar zxvf balance-3.40.tar.gz
cd balance-3.40
vi Makefile
Change this line of code: MANDIR=${BINDIR}/../man/man1
For Ubuntu users : MANDIR=/usr/share/man/man1
For RedHat users: MANDIR=/usr/local/share/man/man1
make
make install
3 Using the load balancer
Here is the network topology used
balance -f http 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3
For http that requires http session we can use
balance -f http 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 %
We can also use this balancer to balance another tcp traffic such as ftp, etc

On the subject of load balancing, why not get the highest availability while not getting caught in high prices? Kemp’s got some great load balancers that are low priced and high in quality:
