Dear Bruce,

    We've several high performance servers in the data center that each of 
their bandwidth usage reachs about 300mbps. Our DataCenter connection to our 
users is several Gigbit Ethernet Links and we've no management on users 
network. So we've two place to setup our TAPs: the first place is near servers 
with about 300mbps and the other place is our connection to users network with 
about 400-500mbps each. On both of these places, a single IDS sensor can not 
handle the traffic so I need a Load Balancer like appliance that can balance 
the traffic to IDS sensors farm.

   Please note that I want to analyze all of the traffic and no filter can be 
applied on these traffics.

Thanks

to tell us what you mean by  a high traffic rate.
 Is it possible to have multiple Snort sensors at lower  traffic rate locations 
in your network and still cover all traffic flows that  you desire to monitor?

Dear All,

     I'm going to start a  project to implement an end to end IDS solution in a 
data center. My problem is  that high traffic rate in the data center leads me 
to use an load balancer to  balance the traffic to multiple Snort servers. I'll 
be thankful if you help me  to find a proper [including commercial] solution.

Thanks all
