I'm not sure, since I'm not sure about the precise meaning of a grid, it |
| 8 |
seems to be a term used for a lot of different things. |

However I am running a 70 node webfarm and a 50+ node database farm |
| 11 |
behind a couple of LVS based load-balancers with keepalived as |
| 12 |
management/monitor/checking software. |

I will say very nice things about it, most importantly it has proven to |
| 15 |
be a very flexible load-balancer setup which configured correctly is |
| 16 |
able to sustain a massive amount of load. |
| 17 |
The load-balancers are running on commodity dell hardware. |

Right now it's load-balancing our >18M pageviews/day website without a |
| 20 |
hitch. |

WRT databases, we load-balance a number of mysql-replication setups |
| 22 |
through it and that is working very good for us. However that is also |
| 23 |
caused by the fact that connection initiation for mysql is extremely |
| 24 |
fast and low on resources. Oracle is far slower and resource-hungry wrt |
| 25 |
to setting up a connection. |

If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer. |
