    Hi,
    we have a brand new F5 BigIP 3400 and it works like a charm. We'd tested
    against a Radware WSD AS2 before choosing F5. We liked very much overall
    performance and how to administer it: it's a linux based machine you can
    configure both via a web gui and ssh. Customer support is also great.
    Cheers,
    Leonardo
