Hi we bought an astaro firewall and are quite happy with it, now we need to buy a commercially supported LVS (linux virtual server) appliance.
Does anyone have any good experience using any commercial LVS devices with web based GUI.

Have you considered Red Hat Cluster Suite?

Yes. The web-based configuration tool is called Piranha. It also supports the failover of two load balancers, in essence creating a high-availibility load balancer. As it is software only, you use standard ethernet switches to plug your load-balanced servers into, which keeps the per-port costs to a minimum. This also makes it more affordable to do interface bonding on your servers. CentOS has released this software for CentOS 3 under the csgfs directory in the mirror network if you want to use it. Of course to meet your requirement of a commercial solution you would probably choose RHEL with RHCS so you can have commercial support.

There's also the Foundry Networks ServerIron. They have served me well (pun?) over the years.

Cheers,
I use Alteon's, they work extremely well (even the old ones) and are nice and cheap on ebay.
