 I have recently had the pleasure of working with a few of the server irons that ev1 deploys as load balancers within the private racks and in the process of setting them up noticed the lack of easy to read documentation. The foundry website is full of great information but it takes a lot of reading and most of it is targeted at the telnet prompt and not the web interface. I have written this guide targeted at doing an initial setup of the slb as well as some more the more advanced configuration that clients may need. If you have purchased a load balancer inside of a private rack you will be dealing with the same hardware that this guide is targeted towards.
