Personally I would suggest LVS / keepalived - IMHO it's the most robust
and powerful solution you can currently get. Definitely worth a look...
It's not as hard to setup as you think - you need a little bit of
experience for planing your cluster setup, but the software installation
and configuration is probably the easier part.
I installed/run multiple clusters, some with quite a lot of traffic
(well, that's what load-balancing is good for) some just needed the HA
features. No serious problems with keepalived and no problems at all
with LVS.
