Regarding inbound load balancing:
I suspect you would plan to do this via static routes on the PIX pointed at
MHSRP groups on the MSFCs? If so, I would take a close look at your internal
routing design to make sure you do not introduce any adverse affects from
asymetric routing. Here is a good tech note regarding that problem.

In any case, I doubt that the MSFC would be your bottleneck as you point
out.

Subject: BGP internet load-balancing
I want to load balance traffic going out from a network to internet through
a PIX and then two WAN routers (same iBGP). I am thinking of
LOCAL_PREFERENCE but which destination access list will be the most
appropriate to devide the traffic ? If anyone done it can you please share
info or any links ?
Also below the PIX (with failover) I have two 6509 MSFCs (10Gb links), will
it be necessary to load balance traffic to the MSFCs coming in from the
internet through the PIX ? My thought is that because the internet traffic
is about 80 Mb when full (ATM
lines) and the LAN links are 10Gb, there will not be a lot of load for one
MSFC if I do not load balance.
Any ideas from the experts?
Thanks
Loizos
