Yeppo ... quite a few including the ones that the previous poster indicated.

I use a highly modified version of Robert Fritzen's PHP one: www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/21921

This has proven the most flexible to me and allows me to slap HA Proxy and other load balancing elements on front of the master server if I need it.

I am about to move on to a major test of all the new services with my customised version ... will let you know how it goes if you are interested.

It's pretty simple ... I'm sure it's stable enough.

@Joshua: Yes it is very stable ... as Richard said ... pretty simple.

I ran a load test this weekend and it came through with flying colors.
100 concurrent connections with a ramp up of 15 per second for 60 seconds ... 100 x 15 x 50 = 75 000 ... there was no delay in response time and I only had to tweak some HA Proxy settings and Apache settings to handle the load.

The trick is to decide what you do with the data ... and making sure your data end point can handle the load ... 8-}
