My vote would be for the Alvaco OptiqRoute: http://www.alvaco.com/
We've been resellers for over a year, have installed probably a dozen and are very happy with the devices. They are much, much cheaper than your BigIP, Fatpipe or Radware devices, *but* provide true inbound DNS-based load balancing and not just bandwidth aggregation or failover. Ping Manny at Alvaco for any questions, he's very helpful. -- Durf On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 8:58 PM, Matthew Bullock <[email protected]> wrote: > Have a look at Zeus. > > > > http://www.zeus.com/products/zxtmglb/index.html > > > > I haven't used the GLB but do use the load balancer and it works great. > > > > mb > > > > > > *From:* Benjamin Zachary - Lists [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Saturday, December 13, 2008 7:23 AM > *To:* NT System Admin Issues > *Subject:* BIG IP > > > > Im looking for some global failover devices.
