apache-mod_athena-2.2.0-5mdv2009.1.x86_64.rpm

Description:

This module is designed to allow httpd to act as a load balancer, either
internally to apache's own mod_proxy (for reverse proxying), or externally to
machines querying it. Arbitrary statistics are sent to the engine via a simple
GET plus query-string interface, from which it will then make decisions based
on chosen algorithms. You are able to manage farms of servers, mark them in
different states, and forward disabled or down systems or farms to new targets,
among other administrative features. In version 2.x (requires httpd-2.2.x), you
can manipulate loadbalancing decisions with your back-end application by
setting a secret key secured cookie that the load balancer will intercept and
use to modify the algorithm. This feature allows you to maintain stick sessions
to a specific server, or prioritize farms using business rules (QoS).
