We've used F5 Big IPs to load balance two AR Servers and 2 Mid Tier servers since 2003. It works great. Its configured to monitor a given port every 15 seconds to make sure the application server is alive (port 9030 for AR Server, port 443 for Mid Tier). If at any point a server doesn't respond it redirects user traffic to the other server in the group. Works very nice.

We're using Big IP F5 to load balance between the two servers. So far we have had no problems load balencing between them except for the hardware itself. The F5 doesn't do fail over very well unless the whole server box goes down.
