I've used ArrowPoint switches on a number of high profile sites (50 million hits a day +), often times replacing another load balancing product that couldn't hack it. They are an ASIC based product, so they can handle a high rate of connections per second better than a server based product can. I do not, however, use them as Layer 2 devices. I don't use any of the switch based load balancers as switches usually, I use another, usually much larger device, to aggregate the traffic to servers and uplinks. ArrowPoints are probobly my favorites, although I certainly enjoy using Alteons and Foundry load balancers. Like all load balancing products, not all work in every case.
