[c-nsp] Cisco load balancers with SSL offload

[Gert Doering]

Hi,

what are folks using for "HTTP load balancing" with SSL offload (SSL 
connection and all the crypto works is done on the load balancer, and
the server machines only do HTTP) today, in Cisco land?

We're currently using Foundry (don't ask), Citrix Netscaler (very nice
boxes!), and Cisco/Arrowpoint CSS (no SSL, as far as I know, and somewhat
aged platform...).

Now we have a customer that's unhappy with Foundry, and doesn't want
Netscalers - and is asking for "what Cisco products can you recommend?".

I can't recommend CSSs, but I assume that there are more "recent"
products available...

So - what are you using, how happy are you with that solution (and what's
the global list proce for it? :) ).

Sorry to offload my research homework to the cisco-nsp list, but you just
can't get useful answers from looking at "yes, we can do all this!!!"
vendor pages...
