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).
