Holy crap -- I just looked at the prices. You can do this with Linux and a 7 year old PC for "free". Sure, they're doing the config work for you, and that's worth something. But $1800!! Yikes... and their major feature is playing DNS tricks: "Incoming traffic balancing is based on primary and secondary DNS entries that point to the client’s environment. Each session’s establishment or incoming protocol transaction will make a name resolution before establishing the session." In other words, when I query for "foo.example.com", this box will sometimes give A record 192.0.2.42 and sometimes give A record 192.0.2.55. For this I pay nearly $2000?!? Hell, you can get poor man's load balancing just by listing multiple A records and hoping you get round-robin'ed in a way that matches your load! -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
