Joseph,
Thanks!
Did you mean this:

But this looks like an integrated solution, hardware and software. I am just looking for the software part.
Boris.

I've had pretty good luck with Barracuda load balancers.. You can configure them to keep a user session on a single server, which is often desired, and spread new connections to other servers as they arrive. The only problem I had with them, ironically, was they would crash if I purchased their "Live Updates" feature. It's some sort of auto updating black-list service you can buy which helps protect the device and your resources. But after I disabled that, the device has been rock solid. Been working great since about 2006.
Yes. It might be worth just getting the whole canned solution, though. It is Linux based. At the time, the thing was about $1800, which isn't really that bad, and it just works. There's a web interface to configure it, and it's relatively intuitive.
