RE:BigIP controller - any issues?

Hi,  If your firewalls are proxy-based why would you need a traffic
shaper on the outside?  Each external proxy connection is terminated
individually at the firewall that made it.  Do you have a web farm?

Subject: BigIP controller - any issues?

I have been asked to investigate the effect of implementing the BigIP
Controller from F5 networks. It has been proposed to place this device
(of
which I have no experience) on the dirty side of internet facing
firewalls
to achieve firewall load balancing. Does anyone know of any security
issues
with this device?

Thanks

Richard
