RE: bad idea?

Has foundry figured out how to introduce persistence in their LB's yet? I
like their switches and have been waiting for them to get persistence going
on.  I think I'll jump on that LB list you cited below.  Wasn't aware that
one was around now.  Great idea!  Thanx!  -Karyn

actually, Foundry has a global solution based on BGP, check them out.

There is a load-balancing mailing list, which addresses such issues.

http://vegan.net/lb is the info to sign up.
