Firewall Wizards: Re: External Load Balancing

[Leonardo Valcamonici <l.valcamonici () caspur it>]

Hi,
we have a brand new F5 BigIP 3400 and it works like a charm. We'd tested 
against a Radware WSD AS2 before choosing F5. We liked very much overall 
performance and how to administer it: it's a linux based machine you can 
configure both via a web gui and ssh. Customer support is also great.
Cheers,
Leonardo
