But if you take a look at the server itself (the log) it's not really load balancing, I use 'least conn' instead of 'round robin', and I thought the diff between 430 and 416 is just how many NIC card you can attach to the LD... -----Original Message----- From: Alberto Begliomini [mailto:aub@coldstone.com] Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 11:11 PM To: Karyn Ulriksen Cc: 'Sutantyo, Danny'; 'lb-l@vegan.net'; 'nanog@merit.edu' Subject: Re: LoadBalancing products: Foundry ServerIron It depends which Local Director.

Products are also available from Alteon, Cisco (Distributed Director) and Resonate. Last time I looked, none of these products does everything one wants, IMHO, but the set union of features comes pretty close.

One of our ".com's" uses it to support their dual co-lo set-up.

Speaking of using a DNS proxy, does anybody know of anybody else doing this besides Foundry??
