We use a Arrowpoint CS800 here, and at $275k a pop, it's not exactly economical. You can probably get an F5 or Cisco Local Director to do it, but then again, we're probably trying to get the best bang for the least buck. Most of the load balancers don't work with out the load information being spewed to them, and that usually required some SNMP implementation, and that opens up a whole can of security concerns. The CS800 will only, if I remember the docs correctly, balance on load and resources of the pool of machines if that information is sent explictly to the balancing application.
