Firewall Wizards: RE: External Load Balancing

["Orca" <klrorca () hotmail com>]

I have used the Cisco CSS switches which might be overkill for what you are
trying to do, but I personally love them. Plus they have the backing of
Cisco, which doesn't suck. :)

The F5 Big/IP I have also used, and was also an excellent box.

Subject: [fw-wiz] External Load Balancing

Good morning list,

We are currently running in an outbound load balanced setup. A packet
from inside has a one in four chance of hitting a specific firewall.

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. 

A quick search of the internet turned up:

Resonate Central Dispatch
Radware Web Server Director
Alteon ACE director 2
F5 Big/ip
Coyote Point Equalizer E250
Holon Tech Hyper Flow 2
IBM WebSphere Perf. Pack
Hydra Web Hydra
Ipivot Intelligent Broker 4000

Anyone have comments about these?
