reverse proxy and load balancer

[Marco_113]

Hi all,
anyone can suggest me any linux tool to configure my server as reverse proxy and load balancer?? (not squid)
Thanks

To balance load you will probably need another piece of hardware to spread the load to.

I might suggest round robin DNS environment.

This spreads the load between servers by randoming assigning ip addresses for the same hostname between two physical or virtual interfaces.
