I was thinking about this after a presentation by F5 about their products.
How many of you do this and what are the function of the servers that you
use in this environment? Any other reasonings, design, problems would be of
interest.

Also, does anyone have any thought or experience on using F5's accelerator
is this type of setup? I know their load distribution stuff plays havok
with some IDS stuff, but I haven't heard much about them lately.

Thanks,
Mike
