Other License: 
Package: Stargazer
System name: stargazer
Type: 1

Description:
Stargazer is a load balancer with proxy capabilities. It can distribute 
requests over a network thus maximizing network performance. It also includes 
fail-over mechanisms that will allow requests meant for a certain box to be 
redirected to another computer, should the former stop responding. It is quite 
compact and has been written in the C language. It supports both TCP and UDP 
and can redirect any port. It is capable of load balancing any type of data so 
is therefore suitable for protocols utilising SSL too. It is a proxying load 
balancer which means that client IP addresses are not available to the server 
farm and all data appears to be coming form the load balancer. It currently 
supports some load reports ( statistics ) .Future goals include 
administrator-friendliness, porting to other platforms, content-based load 
balancing for further performance enchancement and other features, which cannot 
be listed here but are described in the TODO file. It will be released under 
the GNU GPL.It does not officially exist yet but I\'m working on it. Most of 
the code is ready and it\'s a few weeks away from 0.1.0 , Release Candidate 1 . 
Here is a snapshot that does not ( and is not intended to ) work properly :
