pgpool is a connection pool server for PostgreSQL. pgpool runs between
PostgreSQL's clients(front ends) and servers(back ends).

Well there are a few solutions out there.

The first comparable product for MySQL is MySQL Proxy.

There is the C-JDBC solution, now known as Sequoia.
It was a project of ObjectWeb, now known as OW2
Now it is a part of the Continuent technology line as an Apache 2 licensed Open
Source solution.

You can read about some other options in an article I wrote on the MySQL
Developer Zone.

Thanks for your feedback.
If you happen to remember the name of the hardware load balancer you used, I
would sure be interested to know the name.
