Most modern hardware LBs support active-active or active-passive connections with each other (deploying two A10s, etc.). It's been this way for 15 or so years (since local director, bigip, arrowpoint, etc.). The main reasons you would suffer from this would be misconfiguration or too cheap to buy 2 LBs.
- themcgruff 14y ago(I do ops at 37signals...) We have two top of the line ("high end") load balancers at each site. They malfunctioned. When they both malfunction at once, it doesn't matter whether it's active/active or active/passive or anything like that.
