Load Balancer questions

[TV2]

Hello,

Does your load balancer product support heartbeat fail over between 2 servers that run the load balancer proccesses?

Does it support connection multiplexing? Meaning, does it hold user connections and only make a few connections to the backend servers?

Thank You.

Our load balancer does not support heartbeat failover yet, our customer usually setup Common Access Redundancy Protocol (CARP) with freebsd or Linux for this purpose.

Yes, our load balancer keeps the connections to backend servers alive.

How many connections does it make to the backend servers?

Depends on your configuration? as many as you want.
