Oh, last time I looked at it, the box seemed quite alive :-)

(And as the requirements are fairly simple - no stickiness, no SSL,
just balance requests, and do it fast - the boxes do their job quite well).

End-of-support is end of 2008.   But yes, if the box starts doing funnies
one day, we'll certainly recommend going for an 11500, or whatever else
the competition has.

How different is the 11500 from the 11150?  "Just a new hardware", or
"plus vastly improved software"?
