    For some time, I've been considering writing a daemon to
    synchronize Linux state tables and firewall rulesets, and a
    bunch of other stuff to create a firewall load-balancing
    solution for Linux. However, I don't want to re-invent the
    wheel. Is anyone aware of a good open source
    HA/Load-balancing solution for Linux? IMO, this is one of
    the biggest features that separates Linux from the big
    commercial firewall vendors at the mid and high end.

    We're able to make Linux do 90-95% of the stuff the big
    commercial vendors can do, but we can't offer an open-source
    solution to the high-end customers that require redundancy
    and failover.

    Sure would be nice if......

    I know, I know, get off my *** and write it.
