-relayd is a daemon to relay and dynamically redirect incoming

+relayd is a daemon to relay and dynamically redirect incoming connections
+to a target host. Its main purposes are to run as a load-balancer,
+application layer gateway, or transparent proxy. The daemon is able to
+monitor groups of hosts for availability, which is determined by checking
+for a specific service common to a host group. When availability is con-
+firmed, Layer 3 and/or layer 7 forwarding services are set up by relayd.
+
+Layer 3 redirection happens at the packet level; to configure it, relayd
+communicates with pf(4).
