Yes, but we had FS at the head-end of a cluster of FS boxes. No one said FS
can only sit at the core ;) The other benefit you get with it is ALG type
functionality (with some configuration). DNS isn't a good way to do this as
it has no sense of context of what is being sent (SRV does though, but is
not widely supported by many ISPs or domain name providers, unless you run
your own DNS servers) and will blindly RR between IPs whether it is up or
down or worse hung ...so if you have 3 machine farm, and one of them is
hung, 1 in 3 calls will fail. Proper load-balancing should have context and
awareness of the application as well the downstream server to which the
call should or should not be sent to if it's not capable of servicing the
call.
