Conclusions
Version 2.2 of the Apache http server offers a trouble-free, efficient, elegant, and scalable approach to load balancing in an http environment. Availability, a short learning curve, and nearly infinite flexibility all speak in favor of Apache. All told, the Apache load balancing system is a very sensible alternative to popular commercial or open source alternatives.
