I've used Foundry and F5 gear for load-balancing with session persistence and had really good results - cost might be an issue with both of these units. I have been putting together an LVS (DR) solution for some work that's similar to what your doing but haven't finished it yet. Steve

I'm fortunate in that I was able to make the move from contracting early enough to retain *most* of my salary and gain a huge increase in bene's but the calls I get now are in the range of WE WANT EVERYTHING for the 20 - 30 range. Take solace in the fact that everyone is just like you and I, they're not biting on those offers (ex... good friend of mine that was in the business 15+ years manages a strip club now instead of taking the crap tech offers). The pendulum will swing back in the near future, we've seen it swing this way before and when things get so f*$&@ed up that nothing is working properly it will start swinging back. Good luck, Steven
