    lbcd looks for `$sysconfdir/nolbcd` and returns the maximum load if that
    file is present, allowing one to effectively drop a system out of a
    load-balanced pool by touching that file.  By default, the path is
    `/usr/local/etc/nolbcd`, but you may want to pass `--sysconfdir=/etc` to
    configure to use `/etc/nolbcd`.

    lbcdclient is written in Perl, so you may have to edit the first line of
    the script to point to the correct Perl location on your system.  It does
    not use any sophisticated Perl features or add-on modules.

    You will generally want to start lbcd at system boot.  All that is needed
    is a simple init script to start lbcd with the appropriate options or kill
    it again.  It writes its PID into `/var/run/lbcd.pid` by default (and this
    can be changed with the `-P` option).  On many systems, lbcd will need to
    run as root or as a member of particular groups to obtain system load
    average and uptime information.

blurb: |
  lbcd is a daemon that runs on a UNIX system and answers UDP queries with
  information about system load, number of logged-on users, uptime, and free
  /tmp space.  This information can be used to accumulate system status
  across a cluster with light-weight queries or can be used as input to a
  load-balancing system to choose the best system to which to direct new
  incoming connections.

unmaintained: |
  Although I believe it is still useful, I no longer use this method of DNS
  load balancing and am no longer maintaining this package.  If you would
  like to pick up maintenance of it, please feel free.  Contact me if you
  would like this page to redirect to its new home.
