Galder Zamarreño commented on JBCLUSTER-228:
--------------------------------------------

This load balancer could encapsulate JGroups Gossip Router functionality as well!

A single-stop-shop for load balancing!

> 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.
