Will be very interested to know whether this appliance can also load balance the traffic to different IP address in a subnet (some kind of bandwidth control needed in every family when kids are competing for ADSL bandwidth for his/her own downloading's/peer to peer sharing)?

This appliance uses Pen for the load balancing. Pen doesnt have a bandwidth control or traffic shaping feature. Sorry !!

Thanks for trying it out ...

Very interesting appliance. I am familair with Cisco's Load Director which costs serious money. This seems like a great alternative for smaller installations and setups and testing. good work :-)

good work on making the download so small. I notice you have a number of tiny single purpose VMs, but none of them seem to have a UI. If you're interested I would like to help you fix this.

check out the whiptail menus in my appliance http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/329 I think we could put together something similar for your appliances.

I saw that. I think we could put something together. I didnt use a UI because they are all so targeted to dev and server side. I spent a lot of time trying to get it to be a small download. Good work on the phplix appliance...

Something different. Tiny and nice. Kind of getting tired of all the heavy duty large apps .

This seems to be the smallest appliance in this list. Good work.

Too bad it's using an ide disk. It won't run on esx server.

Nice appliance. We use HAProxy but this seems like a great fit for smaller installations.
