Quoting "Jan L. Peterson" <jlp+lvs-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Yes.  Such a device exists.  It's the F5 3DNS box.  It runs a custom
version of FreeBSD (it is a commercial product, and I believe it has
already been mentioned in this thread).

Thanks - I have also looked at Foundry Networks ServerIron, which has
comparable feature list, but for much less $$!

Hum... I have worked with LVS, F5/Bigip or 3DNS and Foundry Networks ServerIron.

Foundry are good product, they boot in less than 10 seconds (!!!).....

But it doesn't have the same flexibility of a Unix with some additions as F5 or LVS...

F5 is the more complete one and flexibile one. It's price is just a bit too expensive... ;) But functionalities are here... You can have a box with 3Dns and Big/Ip on same hardware... :p

However Foundry has some problems :

- switch back (how reach a vip behind a real server ?)
- it does not support high temperatures (I have lots of them blown when temperature is more
  than 35°C in bay).
