Load Balancing
Secure Content Accelerator devices can be installed in front of or behind a load
balancer. If the load balancer is using URL- or cookie-related load balancing,
install the appliance in front of the load balancer. In this configuration, the load
balancer receives clear text packets decrypted by the SSL device. Figure B-2
shows a typical installation.
