Abstract
We study multipoint rational approximations with free poles for the beta function. The denominators of the approximations satisfy orthogonality relations with variable weight with respect to a discrete measure. We obtain the limit distribution of the zeros of the denominators. A potential-theoretic interpretation of the results obtained is given.
