This is the FreeBSD port of the OpenBSD relayd and relayctl.
|
||||
|
||||
relayd is a daemon to relay and dynamically redirect incoming connections
|
||||
to a target host. Its main purposes are to run as a load-balancer,
|
||||
application layer gateway, or transparent proxy. The daemon is able to
|
||||
monitor groups of hosts for availability, which is determined by checking
|
||||
for a specific service common to a host group. When availability is con-
|
||||
firmed, Layer 3 and/or layer 7 forwarding services are set up by relayd.
|
||||
|
||||
Layer 3 redirection happens at the packet level; to configure it, relayd
|
||||
communicates with pf(4).
|
||||
|
||||
The following relayd functionality is not (yet) implemented in FreeBSD:
|
||||
- carp demote
|
||||
- modifying routing tables
|
||||
- snmp traps
|
||||
|
||||
The relayctl program controls the relayd(8) daemon.
