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.
