Ben, There is a port, originally developed by a branch of Ericsson called Eddieware, but I've had mixed results in ever getting it to work. If you're looking for a solution for server clustering, mod_backhand (which is not a port), does a little of what you're looking for for web servers. You may be able to piggy back your needs onto a few existing DNS load balancing technologies. I also remember there being a 2-node piece of software (they had a table at BSDCon this year and last) which they were expanding to a multi node solution some time 1st quater of this year. There is a copy of the early version of the 4CD set that comes with the Complete FreeBSD book, I think it's on the 3rd CD for commercial software.
