Thus spake Muljawan Hendrianto (muljawan.hendrianto@siemens.com.sg):

Stick a bunch of them behind a server load balancer like a
Foundry ServerIron or an F5. Then you don't have to worry about
who the server vendor is. Then you can use FreeBSD boxen for the
servers and save a chonka dough.
> What about LDAP for user's authentication ? Is it recommended to use ?
I haven't used LDAP yet, but have you looked into RADIUS? I think LDAP
is newer, so it might have better features, but as I recall, both are
open standards, and open standards should always prevail.
