[COLUG] Load Balancers

[Joe Whipple]

We personally use the Coyote E350si's, I love them and recommend them 
personally.
My previous employer is where I got my first exposure to them, I liked 
them so much I installed them in my present server room...
The only downside is if you want to do SSL, you will definitely have to 
buy an SSL card for each Coyote box ($2600ish each), and load balancing 
between 2 different geo locations requires Envoy, which is some more on 
top so they can get pricey, but they are the best I have used out there 
and waaay easy to manage and set up.

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?
