Relayd: a load balancer for OpenBSD
Posted on Sat 05 May 2012 in Events
An introduction to relayd, OpenBSD's load-balancing daemon: reverse proxying, SSL-accelerated reverse proxying, transparent proxying with filtering, application redirection, load balancing, and WAN link balancing. Covers the three-part architecture — the Host Check Engine (ICMP/TCP/SSL/HTTP checks), the PF Engine (dynamic firewall rule management), and the Relay Engine — along with practical configurations for reverse proxying, transparent proxying, MySQL redirection, and DNS load balancing.
