title: Experiences using software load balancing vs. a hardware load balancer?
body: <p>The ASP.NET application that I am currently responsible for at my day job has hit its limit in terms of its ability to scale inside a single server. Obviously we are working toward moving session out of process and the test and hopefully deploy date draws near. I would like to draw on the experiencies of people using the built in load balancing in Windows vs. an appliance solution such as one by Baracudda, Coyote Point, F5 etc. Did you start with one and move to the other and why ?</p>
  
  <p>thoughts and advice appreciated in advance...</p>
