nginx的优点:
性能好，可以负载超过1万的并发。
功能多，除了负载均衡，还能作web服务器，而且可以通过geo模块来实现流量分配。
社区活跃，第三方补丁和模块很多
支持gzip proxy
缺点:
不支持session保持。
对后端realserver的健康检查功能效果不好。而且只支持通过端口来检测，不支持通过url来检测。
nginx对big request header的支持不是很好，如果client_header_buffer_size设置的比较小，就会返回400bad request页面。
haproxy的优点:
它的优点正好可以补充nginx的缺点。支持session保持，同时支持通过获取指定的url来检测后端服务器的状态。
支持tcp模式的负载均衡。比如可以给mysql教程的从服务器集群和邮件服务器做负载均衡。
缺点：
不支持虚拟主机(这个很傻啊)
目前没有nagios和cacti的性能监控模板
lvs的优点:
性能好，接近硬件设备的网络吞吐和连接负载能力。
lvs的dr模式，支持通过广域网进行负载均衡。这个其他任何负载均衡软件目前都不具备。
缺点：
比较重型。另外社区不如nginx活跃。
