Q:

Linux Firewall + Loadbalancer distribution

Can anyone recommend a Linux specialized distribution (or appliance) which provides both Firewall and Load-balancer?
Something similar to IPCop for example, but containing LB as well?
Thanks in advance.

A:

The opensource firewall pfsense can do load balancing (see the link).   They have a VMWare appliance. You can buy commerical support etc.  It's based on FreeBSD though so if you have some absolute requirement for it to run on Linux then it may not be suitable.
