More info on BIG-IP
Load Balancing and High Availability for Citrix WinFrame and MetaFrame
Products Using the BIG-IP(r) Controller
Overview
Citrix Systems, Inc. is a leader in application server software and
services. Citrix application software enables organizations to run
applications on servers that can be accessed from a variety of client
devices. The BIG-IP Controller can provide high availability and load
balancing for Citrix WinFrame and MetaFrame products.
Benefits of Using BIG-IP
F5's BIG-IP Controller provides high availability and load balancing for
Citrix servers. It continually monitors each for availability, then
automatically routes incoming queries to the most available server. BIG-IP
verifies that applications are available before sending user requests to it.
Servers internal to BIG-IP can securely connect outbound, with their actual
IP addresses hidden
This is very confusing...

F-5 Makes a lot of hard ware load balancing solutions. Great for web
servers, CSG's internet proxies, all types of stuff.
BIG IP is the line then there are server "versions" like the 320, or the
520 3-DNS etc.

I hate to admit my ignorance, but what is "BIG-IP"?
