how big is your load and how massive needs the system to be? i used pound for a while back in the days, nowadays my standard setup is nginx and then whatever my application needs. having nginx in front of everything makes things in general way more maintainable and the loadbalancing characteristic is good enough to call it a loadbalancer. if you need massive HA you need more than a loadbalancer though but i am sure you know that :-) cheers lenz On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 4:01 PM, Dobbins, Roland wrote:

Do Foundry no longer exist in this space? They're called Brocade now, but when I used to do this sort of thing lots they were the guys to beat.

Yes, Foundry, you're right - the other one is called Netstream, I think?

Also let's not CC AusNOG or other lists with this sort of thing. When their mail server starts working there's going to be either a whole bunch of bounces, or a weird disjointed conversation over there, or more likely both. Keep it to one list yeah?

I didn't realize there was a problem w/AusNOG.  The original conversation was crossposted (generally a bad idea, I agree),a  and so I thought I was doing the Right Thing by resuming it, apologies.
