The system is a web based application designed in php and javascript with a MySQL backend. It is compatable with all standard web browsers including Netscape, IE, and the non-graphical UNIX shell based Links and W3M (for those who don't have access to graphics or are site impaired).
  2. Developed and Implemented dozens of scripts for the automation and administration of an LVS based Linux cluster. The cluster consisted of 2 Failover load balancers and several backend servers providing web (over 400 sites), email, real video, DNS name service, Shells, and FTP. The highly complex system featured quick failover of every service and every individual ip on all backend servers while load balancing with weight specification, for all backend servers. Administration of entire system could be done on one single Loadbalancer machine using one very simple configuration file. That one machine in turn would update the configuration on all other machines in the cluster. Every machine would then automatically readjust itself accordingly.
