Sweet Jeebus!- don't go with F5! Their performance numbers are nowhere near what they claim to be (in my experience). Just waaaay too many exceptions to the rule. I'm personally biased, as I've done a lot of work with F5 corporate, and had poor experiences across the board. But the numbers are the real reason why I don't recommend them- the IXIA doesn't lie! I've had best results with Foundry. www.foundrynet.com/products/webswitches/serveriron/fwlb.html -Warren Verbanec Resilience -----Original Message----- From: L Cubed [mailto:lllcubed () gmail com] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 8:10 AM To: Richard St John Cc: firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com Subject: Re: [fw-wiz] External Load Balancing Are you using statefull inspection, application proxies, or a combination of both?

We are beginning to look at load balancing the external side of our network so that a packet from the outside has a one in four chance of hitting a specific firewall.
