    Any network guru's on here?

    I have a little question. I need to write a algorithm for 'Round Robin' to break down the assignment of jobs based on active connections. problem is i have 2 main sets of servers dbc and dbx and then there is one single floating server db05. db05 needs to get called by either dbc or dbx depending on which one has the heavier load. anyone have any ideas how to go about doing this? if you need clarification, feel free to ask :)

    If you wanna just do it off active connections, use FreeBSD's RR routine in natd/ipfw setups. For that type of application, it load balances quite nicely. I've been using that here for roughly 5yrs w/o a single problem. :)

    i narrowed it down to using a least-connection algorithm. now the only question is how to tie in the floater.

    Denver_Rolla, its not my homework, i work for Dept of Defence and i need to write a algorithm for a few servers using C and then tie in a load of other features. I'm just trying to get the best start on this :)

    then i'd take a look at the algorithm used in natd for load distribution... it's pretty good to start with then build on... and you should be able to adapt it to whatever you want.

    yes, all related code to the load balance stuff is in natd source. if you need help getting it let me know... its out there its just sometimes a pain to get unless you install the OS and included the sources with the binary install.
