A few people asked about the hardware configuration, so here goes...
It's a dual director, 8 real server configuration. The real servers run
ftp, http, and rsync server applications. The directors are dual P4 IBM
xSeries 345 servers w/ 2.5 GB ram.
Yes, it sounds like a little overkill, but the directors also run quagga
& egress packet queuing. It's doing lookups against the Internet2 BGP
routing table and performing QoS functions, in addition to the load
balancing.
Here's a page with a diagram, too:
