Sense of scale would probably have been a smart thing to mention!
Relatively smallish operation in traffic terms at the moment, <10Mb/sec
bandwidth most of the time, It seems like even the entry level load
balancers are capable of 1Gbps. I think we're seeing about 40
-50reqs/sec at peak, more
As with everything, it all depends on what you are looking for. Not all
vendors have implemented the same feature the same ways.
For example, we have a product at $WORK which needs to use the same IP from
the VIP as the SNAT; some products assume that VIPs are inbound IP only and
that you would us
We've a Citrix Netscaler shop, and we've had good luck with them.
They're not perfect, by any means, but they've treated us pretty well
over the years. Before that we used Cisco Arrowpoints and prior to
that F5's. We just upgraded our Netscalers, so we're still happy
customers. ;)

We're using F5 Big-IP units at my workplace. I can't say I'm enthused
with them compared to the Alteons we used to use, but I also won't go so
far as to say that's a failing of the LB hardware as the Big-IPs exist
in a different place, both in terms o

Got an engineer on the line within minutes. Solved my problem.
He was really smart. And working with the product has been
pleasant. Not like my other hard8*&%#$CARRI
We use f5 big ips. For the most part they have been good. Most of our issues
relate to the irule functionality we use for mobile site redirection for a
legacy application. It's not redirecting < 5%of the time and we are having
issues nailing the cause down.

Hi all,
We're looking at going down a hardware route for load balancers, and
looking for an HA solution.
Does anyone have any recommendations or scare stories? I'm not so much
interested in what great and wonderful things the spec sheet says it
does compared to real world behaviour.
