If such a block box is made on linux2 using lvs2 technology and hopefully
all of these are open as LVS, then we might see again at that mailing-list.
We absolutely don't have to talk about LVS there. and you also don't have to
say "why should someone continue to use lvs2 if we could get load balancing
boxes for free someday?".
LVS could be the reason to make load balancing h/ware get cheaper, though
the load balancing boxes are above $10000 these days jet.
