do any of you webhosting guys use F5 hardware?
 

I'm curious to know if any of you webhosting guys use any F5 hardware like BIG IP (load balancing/traffic mgmt), 3DNS, or Firepass.

We were looking at them, but we opted for the Internap load balancing solution, but i guess it depends on what type of load balancing you're refering to, if you're talking about load balancing outgoing internet links then We use the Internap box for that, if you're talking about load balancing servers then we use foundry boxes for that application.

Thanks,

there are many other alternatives.... just check out ebay and you will see a lot of brands for good prices ;)
