Been looking at quite a few, Radware, cisco and loadbalander.org stand out as some pretty nice ones but I'm still weighing my options. Any thoughts?
The originally post didn't necessarily specify an application load balancer. Radware and Cisco both offer WAN/Routing load balancing, so the confusion can easily have been made..Originally posted by: spidey07
ccbadd - that doesn't look like a load balancer at all. A load balancer balances applications and services and includes robust means of controlling stickiness be it via a cookie or many other options. I don't see anything in there the probes applications on real servers to make sure the application is up and operational and available to receive content requests?

There are tons of options for app load balancing out there.. What's your budget look like? A pair of F5 3600's will easily set you back close to 50k. Coyote makes decent units and are considerably less than F5 units (www.coyotepoint.com). Radware makes them, Barracuda, Cisco, Kemp, Foundry, Zeus, and the list goes on and on....
Do you have any specific needs that can help narrow down between manufacturers?

Pretty much just HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. Its basically an apache server that runs on linux and pulls information from a db server behind it.
