Looking for a basic load balancer to use with virtual IIS sites and wondering if Mono can do this or can anyone recommend a similar (Great) package.
I use Mono for firewalling development environment in ESX. Excellent package. Also have a request to load balancer two virtual servers for testing and was hoping for an easy solution.

Without an "actual" load balancer device, you can fake it pretty well if you control all the IIS sites and can setup a simple round robin redirect script. So if you have 4 web servers all with the same copy of the website, the first server would have a script that does a random redirect to the next server for each visitor. So basically your load would be spread across all servers evenly as far as inbound visitors go.
As far as m0n0wall, no load balancer built in that I am aware of.
