Yup. Those BIG-IP can sure do a lot... together with their 3-DNS
controllers... offering high availability, redundancy, and load balancing
all throughout, inound and outbound. No BGP needed. Those run BSD. The
problem is the price.
A single BIG-IP controller costs a little more than USD 23.5k ... grabeng
mahal. Ewan ko lang if its really worth the service, or maybe we can find
something else cheaper. btw, their website is www.f5.com

L4 switches are more of switches+some intelligence; I would consider
something
like the F5 "BigIP" as an appliance, in fact it is allegedly BSD based.
