NAME
       morebalance - a sophisticated load balancing tool

SYNOPSIS
       morebalance [options]

DESCRIPTION
       In order to make internet services more reliable and scalable, a whole
       bunch of clustering and load balancing tools has been created.  Most of
       them are much more powerful than morebalance ever intends to be, but
       for smaller installations this program should be sufficient.

       Port forwarding, load balancing and (to a certain degree) quality of
       service can be handled.  Additionally, protection against DoS-type
       attacks is built in, which dynamically locks out IP addresses.

       MoreBalance runs as a daemon which restarts itself should it ever
       crash. While no output is produced normally, verbosity can be increased
       in the configuration file which gives some statistics.

OPTIONS
       -c, --configuration=file
              Use this configuration file instead of the default (a local
              morebalance.conf file).

       -i, --immediate=string
              Instead of a configuration file, use a one-line configuration
              option directly from the command line.

       -d, --daemon
              Run in daemon mode. This way, no status messages are printed to
              the console.  This is highly recommended for server mode.

       -h, --help
              Display a coprehensive help screen describing all the possible
              command line options, and exit.

       -v, --version
              Display the version number and exit.

       -s, --spec
              Display the internal build specifications and exit.
