Ballast: A tool for balancing user load across SSH servers

I guess this is how they manage SSH connection to Pleiades [1]. Cool! I use Pleiades and am constantly impressed by the uptime and quality of service on such a high-end resource.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.nas.nasa.gov/hecc/resources/pleiades.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nas.nasa.gov&#x2F;hecc&#x2F;resources&#x2F;pleiades.html</a>

What an odd idea.<p>Then again, they send stuff into space. Who am I to judge.

Sourceforge? Seriously? Why do NASA people and academia still upload things to SF instead of GitHub?

Was actually looking at this a few days ago for a cluster of bastion nodes to secured infrastructure. Ts a pretty interesting tool.

Horrible comma use in the description. You don&#x27;t need either of &#x27;em!
