I was thinking from a failover standpoint, not so much a "too much load
for a single piece of hardware" stance. These things should be able to
handle more traffic that you can get through your pipe.

That makes sense, and is more convenient than R-R DNS. My only
experience with BigIP was that they were used at an unnamed
registrar/SSL-cert provider as a contractor for about two years. The ops
folks took care of all of that, leaving us to work on the actual software.
