Load balancing

[HS Thomas]

Where would the best place to handle this ?
A grid ?

[Lasse Koskela]

Typically load balancing is performed with either dedicated load balancing hardware (costs $$$) or separate servers running a software load balancer (cheaper, less robust/reliable).

[Chris Mathews]

See this recent thread for more information on load balancing.

Thanks both.
Would have missed Chris' article if it weren't for that link. I'd think it's still worth learning EJBs as it's perhaps the only chance to consider everything transaction-network related at one go. I'm sure bits will be disappearing into other technologies.
