This is a pure-python TCP load balancer. It takes inbound TCP connections and connects them to one of a number of backend servers. Features: * async i/o based, so much less overhead than fork/thread based balancers. * Multiple scheduling algorithms (random, round robin, leastconns, leastconns+roundrobin) * If a server fails to answer, it's removed from the pool - the client that failed to connect gets transparently failed over to a new host. * xml based configuration file * seperate management thread that periodically re-adds failed hosts if they've come back up. * optional builtin webserver for admin (sample of the running screen) * webserver has methods suitable for both interactive and automated systems WWW: http://pythondirector.sourceforge.net/
