(http://www.foundrynet.com) It was a little bit of a chore to setup, but its working great for load balanceing all of our virtual domains. (600+). We currently load balance over 2 servers, and we're looking at adding a third. Performance wise, it's pretty unbeatable for the price. It balances by port, not by ip, so you can fail certian ports on certian servers without anyone noticeing.
