suggest a good hardware load balancer?

External Since: Feb 12, 2005 Posts: 2

I know Windows 2003 supports load balancing, but I already have two Windows
2000 web servers and now I want to run the same websites on both and put a
hardware load balancer in front. Can anyone suggest a good make/model?
Also, with the hardware load balancer, do you know if I *must* change the
domain names so one is "www1" and one is "www2.whatever.com", which seems
ugly to me?

What sort of load are you looking at?

We used a range of Nortel Alteon boxes at one of out last major projects.
You may not need anything so high-end though...
