============================================
This readme.txt file contains information
about the Prestwood Load Balancer for Web
Servers


About Prestwood Load Balancer
============================================
The Prestwood Load Balancer is a cross-web
server, cross-platform web request dispatcher
that distributes direct HTTP calls to various
web servers, based on the total number of
pending requests to each server and the
average response time.

By sending pending HTTP requests to servers
with lighter loads or faster throughput, the
Prestwood Load Balancer ensures quicker
response time for all HTTP calls.

Since the Prestwood Load Balancer is
configured using I.P. addresses only, it is
designed to work with web servers running on
any operating system.  This includes Microsoft
IIS, Apache Web Server and Apache SSL.

New with Version 1.1
============================================

 - The Load Balancer now runs as a Service in
   Windows NT or Windows 2000.
 - Log messages are now entered in a database
   (Advantage Database Server), which allows
   the Load Balancer Service to run independent
   of interaction with the user or the desktop.
 - The Load Balancer Manager can be used
   independent of the NT Service.

Requirements
--------------------------------------------
The Prestwood Load Balancer is a Windows
application, and runs on Windows 2000 Server
and Windows NT Server.
