+      HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high
+      availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based
+      applications. It is particularly suited for web sites crawling under very
+      high loads while needing persistence or Layer7 processing. Supporting
+      tens of thousands of connections is clearly realistic with todays
+      hardware.
