FWIW, In terms of server load balancing, Arrowpoint has some really good
stuff worth looking at. When I was looking at them for a major ISP circa a
little over a year ago, they had a platform that could, from a hardware
perspective, do just about anything. They were agressively looking for
input as to what software offerings should be available and doing their best
to code to this requirement.
All in all, if it is a load balancing option you are looking for, I would
definaitely look at them.

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.
