    The devil is in the details here...
    How good/scalable as compared to what?

    It does l2tp, but there is a much, much better protocol.. SSH. It will
    also terminate isakmp.

    Network load balancing? You mean balancing pipe? Or services?

    We replaced our 3660's and 7200's with FreeBSD boxen 2 years ago. We've
    never missed them.

    But, like all things, FreeBSD can't be everything to everyone. YMMV
