Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IP
We use F5 BIG-IP for DNS and LTM. For LTM case is simple, we route all Gi traffic in our network throu LTM. The major thing that we do is strip part of traffic and send it other way for adding special features like switching DNS for client. Our solution is very comllicated and only F5 is capable of doing such thing.
