Been running E2010 for a year now- We're getting rid of WNLB, putting four Kemp loadmaster 2200's into place, a high availability pair in each AD site Did one site yesterday, the other is planned for next week. We're ~7K mailboxes with 2 real mbx/hub and 3 virtual cas in each site. ~1400 BB's, few hundred EAS devs.
Are you stuck on F5 for some reason? Not that I have any long experience with Kemp or anything but they seem to be pretty nice boxes for a very reasonable price...

I'm trying to plan new hardware to deploy Exchange 2010 (100 users, average mailbox size 500MB) and am looking at using two servers with CAS, HT and Mailbox roles installed on both and using DAG for high availability. I was thinking of using Windows NLB for load balancing,but have read that this can't be used with DAG (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979781.aspx). My question is, if I set up two additional servers with NLB installed and moved the CAS and HT roles to them, would this solution then provide the load balancing I'm looking for? Alternatively, would I be better off with two highly redundant servers and use one for Mailbox and one for CAS and HT? Thanks for any advice!
