Derek, Chris,
Actually, you can do it now without having the Local Director. I believe
you must have the MFSC and PFC though and also there is a server load
balancing license involved though it is currently on the honor system.
Using a Local Director in conjunction with a 6509 is called Accelerated
Server Load Balancing (ASLB). Now you can do it with just the 6509 by
itself and it's called Server Load Balancing (SLB). Of course, you can
also use a Local director without a switch to do load balancing.
