We had Cisco Local Directors and they were doing similar things as yours are now. It would at times direct all traffic to the one server that was having issues. I believe this was a flaw in the way they handled balancing but we could easily pull/drain a server from the farm.
We now run Radware WSD's and love them we can set Client table timeouts down to the second and it routes basd on anything you need it too JSESSIONID,CFID/CFTOKEN Load balancing has come along way. As for the Linux debate we currently use it mostly on our frontend servers(web) but we are swapping out JRun boxes too. I have to say there is little or no maint required on the boxes once I set them up. Other than timezone updates due to the change in DST I dont think I have even logged into them in the past 6 months Eric On 3/6/07, Brad Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, I am still open to suggestions.
