With talk of massive layoffs, I'm busier than ever... ironic, isn't it? I learned a cool new trick today regarding virtual servers and Foundry ServerIron load balancers. There is a feature ("no port http translate") that allows you to configure a virtual server on a non-standard TCP port and then bind it to multiple real servers on TCP 80. This is really cool if you already have a virtual server bound to http on real servers and you want to migrate additional web servers to the same existing real servers. Nifty. My busy schedule at work is not helping me gain ground toward being prepared for my CCIE recertification. I cringe at the though of actually taking vacation time so I can study. That just doesn't seem fair. I hope the weather clears up soon. I'm tired of the dreary surroundings... as if things aren't gloomy enough without atmospheric interference.
