How about Local Director?Everyone I've spoke to about LD is very unhappy with it's performance.
That can only be because you didn't speak to me:-). Seriously, I've used them a fair bit, and like 'em a lot. Their H-A failover is superb, they load balance really gracefully, their hold-time feature (making assignments sticky) works well with simple website designs for session tracking; and I really love the way they passively monitor the performance of all servers in the farm and consistently route traffic to the currently fastest server. I've heard that they max out around 80Mbps. That was a year or so ago, I've no idea if that's still the case. I've never hit their limits. But I can believe that a faster-but-dumber load balancer would have a higher ceiling. -Bennett
