LVS handles all protocols.  It can do any port and UDP or TCP.  It
supports different types of balancing Round Robin (rr), Weighted Round
Robin (wrr), Least Connections (lc), Weighted Least Connections (wlc).
 It can do sticky sessions, so if OWA doesn't like when you go from
server 1 to server 2, LVS will keep the user stuck to one server.
Plus a ton of other features.  Give it a shot.
