No need for the balancer to be hardware. Hardware/ software it will look the same to alfresco.

Hi,

Thanks. Any recommendation for which software LB to be used? best it is open source type as it will not incurr additional cost to my project. Within alfresco, is there any documentation to talk about how to configure such thing?

Many thanks.
