Hi Stuart,
How will be handled the bind to low ports? will be needed to run the
load-balancer as root or some user with privilege to bind in 80 or 443?
Running as root is generally to be avoided.
You could use software defined networking to do it (depending on your
stack) and have some failover and whatnot there, as a bonus.
Or use PF/iptables or something to forward from 80 to one above 1024.
Search for "privileged port binding" + whatever system you're trying to
do it on to find more information.
Thanks for sharing that video Tomaž, good stuff!
