Open Source Load Balancers

glider is a forward proxy with multiple protocols support, and also a dns/dhcp server with ipset management features(like dnsmasq). We can set up local listeners as proxy servers, and forward requests to internet via forwarders. Act as both proxy client and proxy server(protocol converter). Flexible proxy & protocol chains. Load balancing with the following scheduling algorithm, rr: round robin, ha: high availability, lha: latency based high availability, dh: destination hashing. Rule & priority based forwarder choosing: Config Examples. DNS forwarding server. Force upstream querying by TCP. Association rules between dns and forwarder choosing. Association rules between dns and ipset. dns cache support. Custom dns record. IPSet management (linux kernel version >= 2.6.32). Add ip/cidrs from rule files on startup. Add resolved ips for domains from rule files by dns forwarding server. Serve HTTP and socks5 on the same port. Periodical availability checking for the forwarder.
