[c-nsp] Virtual IP Question

[Paul Stewart]

Thanks... was going to go down that route previously but the server admin
doesn't want to do NAT and the servers are in a large subnet with other
servers so using public IP dispatch isn't an option neither if I understand
SLB properly...;)  Looked at both modes and didn't see how either would work
unfortunately....

You already have the 6500, why not just use IOS SLB?  You can setup  
various probe checks and/or primary and backup server farms.

Mac OS X. Because making Unix user-friendly is easier than debugging  
Windows.
