Re: BigIP controller - any issues?

[Unknown <pain () royal net>]

        Has anybody concidered RadWare's FireProof for this application? They,
supposedly, save the state information of the connection, and are able to
preserve it in a failover configuration. Also, something to consider is the
redundancy of the load-balancer itself, since it is a potential SPOF. You
could get more information on this product @
