Hi,
My Company is preparing to build a large scale hardware infrastructure =
to support our new modperl application that we expect will generate =
quite a bit of traffic.
Our company will be 'betting the farm' on this application and it's =
ability to handle a lot of users.

We will need load balancing with failover and a correctly designed =
network.

We have a great IT department who are already spec'ing this out, but I =
am wondering if there is a modperl expert around who has experience with =
large scale modperl applications who could consult on the planning and =
design of the infrastructure.

I am thinking about a day or more where someone could come in and =
discuss their experience around load balancing and network setup and =
provide advice to our IT staff. We need someone to advise/suggest/guide =
and then we will implement. We are considering hardware based systems =
such as the Cisco CSS Content services switch.

We are in Santa Clara, CA (SF bay area) and would prefer someone local =
although that is not absolutely necessary. (We also have people in =
Austin TX) What is important is that whoever it is has experience with =
modperl applications in a high-availability load-balanced environment.

We would obviously pay consulting fees. It could be a day or could =
become more. We need this in the next few days/weeks, so if this =
interests anyone please let me know soon.
The application consists of one or more front end apache (2.0.x) =
machines proxypassing to one or more modperl (apache 1.3.x) app servers.
All state info is stored in a single mysql DB at this point, so this is =
not a 'sticky' application (which could possibly change). We are also =
accessing MSSQL 2000 data.


Thanks!
Joe Junkin
