I have some plans to implement a load balancer a-la Cisco LocalDirector
for FreeBSD, but this requires one machine to sit between clients
and servers. Not sure when it will be ready as I have not found
a sponsor for this project yet.

Windows2000 seems to use a fully sw solution  with a
distributed algorithm for allocation but i am still a bit
unclear on some details...
