I absolutely agree with you on the communications angle. I suffer from it every day at my current client. The Networking group here is very rarely asked to comment on application architecture in the planning stages - it's only after an app reaches QA that they realize there are often some issues interfacing with the network. We then are forced to try to fit a square peg in a round hole and make it all work. On the other hand, our Networking group doesn't exactly reach out to the app folks when we're selecting/implementing networking hardware (like these F5's). Love you site, btw. The tag cloud in your header is awesome. Hi AppGirl, thanks for the clarification about the load balancers – I’ve got a lot to learn in this area :) .

Btw, the reason that load balancers don't load balance themselves is that they behave more like clustered devices. You'll find similar capabilities & behaviors on products like Cisco ACE and Citrix Netscaler.
