Scott, I have seen a good bit of negative feedback with ICM. I have been 
testing out Puakma's Web Booster. It will do load balancing/failover for 
http. Actually, from my understanding, ICM will only do load balancing, 
right? In my environment I don't want http to be load balanced because our 
cluster iSeries has a lot less horsepower. Puakma didn't initially have 
this, but they have since updated it to run in strict failover mode.

I also know someone who is running a BlueCoat SG appliance for this.

Also, I have not tested ICM personally, but when I was researching this 
last year I saw where customers didn't recommend ICM.

Is anyone using ICM? if so how is it working for you? I would like to 
use
it for our mail servers, but I also want to hear what anyone you think
before I configure it. Is it going to be a performance hit to our mail
servers? is it pretty seamless? What about the unread marks problems?
please any feedback would be greatly appreciated, good or bad.

Thanks,
