Network oriented services with FreeBSD

[Bob Martin]

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
