External load balancer for non-HTTP invocations
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCLUSTER-228
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCLUSTER-228
             Project: JBoss Clustering
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: Backlog


A server that functions like an HTTP load balancer, but intended for use with non-HTTP invocations, e.g. EJB invocations.

Back end JBoss AS instances make this load balancer aware of deployments of clustered services; it load balances requests between them.  Client proxies know how to talk to the load balancer(s).

Main benefit is no need to open firewall to allow traffic to a fluctuating set of back end JBoss instances.  Could also be useful in proxying requests from IIOP clients.
