HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications. It is particularly suited for web sites crawling under very high loads while needing persistence or Layer7 processing. Note: By default, this SlackBuild supposes that the kernel supports epoll if the kernel release is 2.4.x. This is a reasonable choice for running HAProxy, isn't it? Otherwise, please remember to modify this SlackBuild.
