[c-nsp] GSS and ACE

[Justin C Darby]

Nick,

The primary benefit to these things, AFAIK, is the ACE integration for load
balancing. I'm pretty sure there are other options (mostly software)
available to do the same DNS load balancing without ACE's, but - ACE's are
a great way to add redundancy to a site, and GSS+ACE can handle load
balancing across many access points with integrated service monitoring and
the like. Doing that without a device like the ACE is pretty complicated.

Does anyone know if you can use or even would want to use a GSS appliance
without an ACE Module or Appliance? I like the idea of having data center
redundancy/global site selection,  however I'm not so sure the load
balancing features of the ACE appliance are yet a requirement for a
particular design I am working with is worth the cost. Thanks in advance.
