[COLUG] Load Balancers

[ferguson]

My company is looking at buying a load balancer to put between two engines (Endeca is the app running on HP DL360s) and our AS/400.  We don't need a ton of horsepower to do the load balancing (IE - Cisco CSS, F5, Foundry, etc).  Our main VAR is CDW.  They are pitching a Coyote Point E350si.  They also sell Baracudda boxes.  Any pros / cons for each device?  I've worked with the F5 & Cisco in the past.  I've heard of Coyote Point (in Linux Journal).  Never really heard of the Baracudda before.  Anyone worked with the Coytote Point or Baracudda?  Have a preference?

Thanks,
Steve
