No back end stats from the load balancer?  Don't trust the stats from the load 
balancer?   Crossroads (1) gives us connections, errors and bytes transferred 
per server.  I'm not suggesting you rip out your IBM stuff, I'm just curious 
why they're working so hard to get info the load balancer may provide.
