Load balancer

HI guys,

We need to put up a load balancer that will be connected to our multiple web dispatchers for external network users to access the systems.

I cannot find documentation how to install and configure load balancer. Can you help me on this? Can you provide some links and resources I can use as reference?

My recommendation is to install a WAF (web application firewall) in front of the webdispatchers.

If you use a public cloud to implement it, the high availability is easier and you avoid nasty INTERNET traffic reaching your datacenter. a WAF does what a normal firewall do, but also can block Layer 7 attacks like SQL Injection.
