Of course you can use Linux Virtual Server for load balancing. But if you 
want something between do it yourself and the high-end big-bucks products 
you can have a look at the B100 from One4net. It is Linux based but that is 
not so relevant because it behaves like a hardware box that is manageable 
with different software tools.
