Yeah, so why bother? As long as load balancers don't have GigE ports, I can't use them and have to use something like Resonate. Besides, LBs don't do site-site load balancing. If you want to do distributed load sharing then there really isn't much choice. Personally, I don't see benefits of LBs that proper clustering wont give you. Component clusters work well, much better than simple LB will give you.

you can do EtherChannel for more than 100 Mbps, but we all know how well that works.

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.
