localdirecter has DistributedDirector as its Global Load Balancing counterpart. I'm not a big fan of localdirectors because they are expensive, while at the same time lacking in many features, including Layer 5 lb and cookie persistance. Cisco bought ArrowPoint, which I think is meant to take care of those shortcommings by making ArrowPoint its defacto LB solution. Tony On Thu, 6 Jul 2000, Sutantyo, Danny wrote:
How about 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.

I believe BigIP has a product called DNS3 that serves a similar function. One of our ".com's" uses it to support their dual co-lo set-up.
