I am running a VMWare cluster - with 2 mbx servers and 2 CAS servers - all virtual. I tried using NLB - and it was a complete failure. That is when I went ahead and got a coyote point, and it has been fine since.

I’m starting to think and plan for adding a second Exchange 2010 server and setting up a DAG and CAS array. I know of Kemp, but I’m not familiar with any other vendor when it comes to load balancers. Obviously I can whack it into Google (and have) but on the face of it they all do what I currently want. Any personal recommendations (or nightmares) would be great. A virtual load balancer also sounds like an option as we have a vSphere cluster that should be able to run a pair of appliances in HA.
