Eddie is a HighAvailability clustering toolkit. It's OpenSource and written in the functional programming language Erlang.

Eddie consists of two parts

  • An Enchanced DNS Server
  • An Intelligent HTTP Gateway

Because of it's design and use of a weird DNS server Eddie can support load balancing over geographically seperated servers. This would be useful for having different servers in different countries!
