[c-nsp] IOS Server Load Balancing on C3560-E switches ??

[Matthew Huff]

Yes, it looks like IOS SLB is only available on the 6500/7600. Too bad. This is for straight revere-proxy web caches for Oracle WebCache so it uses http/https. We may have to purchase an ACE appliance. Anyone have any suggestions for a turnkey (not linux server based, etc) appliance that does http/https load balancing? Something as simple and cheap as possible.
