Hi all, We're looking at going down a hardware route for load balancers, and looking for an HA solution.
Does anyone have any recommendations or scare stories? I'm not so much interested in what great and wonderful things the spec sheet says it does compared to real world behaviour. Currently on the list for investigation are F5, Kemp Technologies, Citrix NetScalers, Foundry (Brocade now?). I've experience with the latter two, netscalers I was a bit "meh" about, they had a few show stopping bugs at the time but that could well have changed. Having an HA pair die one after the other because they didn't like a particular TCP header makes for a fun morning! The BigIron's I've dealt with all had a number of little quirks, whilst being thoroughly reliable.
