Are there any Load Balancing solutions with Linux?

I am running a webserver hosted on two servers running Linux and want to
ensure that they are load balanced.

Thanks

Paul

This is done by having multiple entries in the DNS database

So it's done automatically - i.e. so Linux knows when a server is over
loaded and to feed a task to the other server?

Just arrange your DNS like this:-

$ORIGIN foo.com
www IN A 199.1.1.1 ; first machine
www IN A 199.1.1.2 ; second machine

The addresses will be served to callers in a round-robin fashion.
That is, a random client will be given one of these two addresses when
they ask for "www.foo.com".
