Ok so we are currently running 8 esxi 3.5 hosts, with a isci backplane. Currently we are planning on deploying 4 new virtual web servers. I want to get this guys load balanced, but the software they run require that the load balance supports sticky sessions. So software load balancers are pretty much out of the question. Also the goal of the boss is to cut out a rack. I was thinking that using a virtual load balancer here would be best. Anyone have any experance with a virt load balancer? Im thinking of heading towards a 7500 series net scaler (as we are a citrix shop). And i know these come as a virtual appliance. Just wondering if anyone has any idea's, thoughts or experiance they would like to share.
Thanks
Tyrel
