I've used both, and am just starting to use MSFC for routing. The Foundry
is less expensive and has done well in the past. But you're comparing a
FastIron to a 6509. You should be looking at a BigIron4000/8000.
Lots of people are using the Foundry SLB (Server Load Balancer) in place of
the LocalDirector. More features, less expensive, higher throughput, etc.
