We have been experiencing a couple outages yesterday and today due to a problem with our load balancer. We rely on our host to handle the load balancer issues and are thinking that it might be a good idea to get our own pretty soon (or at least, find a solution that allows us to have a bit more control over our own fate). In any case, we’re very sorry that the site hasn’t been up as much as we’d like it to be. I’ll keep updates here as things progress.
Updates:
- As of 8:30am, we’re down again.
- Back up at 9:17am.

mod_backhand makes a nice non-hardware based load balancer.<br />

A LVS based load balancer is a good option for a dedicated/non-proprietary balancer.<br />
