This week I was a guest along with Lori MacVittie from F5 on the great Packet Pushers podcast, for an episode based on load balancers. Here are a couple of highlights:
- Lori and I have a (in good fun) BATTLE ROYAL over the term “ADC” versus load balancers.
- I have single-handedly renamed Direct Server Return (DSR) to “Bat-shit Crazy Mode”.
- We talked about challenges with providing accurate health checks
- We were distracted several times by squirrels.

Have a listen, good stuff.


Great podcast!
This has got to be one of the BEST packet pushers podcasts yet. Thanks for you contribution.
