Happy New Year! I came across some alarming results last night when testing out a script that simulates badly behaved spambots and am curious as to whether popular load balancers take care of the situation. (I ended up solving the issue in this case by using a reverse proxy I wrote myself a few years ago, but I'm sure someone else has done the same...)

First on the list to try is Perlbal.

Latest Debian install instructions:

sudo apt-get install subversion libbsd-resource-perl libcompress-zlib-perl libnet-netmask-perl libio-stringy-perl libwww-perl libdanga-socket-perl libdbi-perl

svn co http://code.sixapart.com/svn/perlbal/tags/Perlbal-1.60/

cd Perlbal-1.60

perl Makefile.PL

sudo make install
