OpenLoBa - The Open Source Load Balancer

About OpenLoBa?

OpenLoba was originally created for the VMware Ultimate Virtual Appliance Challenge , and was started  on March 10, 2006.
I have been messing around with different ideas and working on small little projects here and there and wanted to make some sort
of project available to the public and the VMware Challenge was the push that got me started.
So basically OpenLoBa  is a bunch of open source tools put together to make a nice tcp load balancer solution with a web front end.

What does it do?

It takes a group of specified hosts and balances them via round robin. When a balanced host goes down it will redirect traffic to a
failover host until the original host is brought back up. It also has support for "sticky" connections, so it can balance services that
require a persistant connection like https.
