Yes the Nokia solution it is quite nice but I don't think
VRRP is capable of load-balancing, which is one of the
things he mentioned.
I'm curious also because we are also looking at firewall
load-balancing. So far Foundry is looking pretty nice.
There are solutions out there that operate at layer two,
such as Foundry, so you don't have to add a new IP network
to accomodate the load balancing devices. That sounds
very cool.
