 ====== Load Balancing with X2Go ======
-Soon to come...
+The X2Go load balancing setup requires several installation steps.
+  - Install more than one X2Go Servers
+  - Install all X2Go Servers identically (FAI and/or puppet are good tools here)
+  - Hook them together:
+    * central LDAP server with user accounts as authentication backend and user base (PAM, libnss)
+    * central NFS server for provisioning of home directories
+    * make sure DNS works well and all X2Go Servers resolve and reverse resolve fine
+  - Install PostgreSQL on a non-X2Go Server (i.e. on the machine that runs the LDAP service)
+  - [[wiki:advanced:multi-node:x2goserver-pgsql|Hook all X2Go Servers' session databases into the PostgreSQL database server]]
