Yes, as I've said you can use the hardware loadblancer for the FE web servers and use connector load balancing for load balancing between the CF servers. The only problem that we ran into is that you can't selectively take a server offline with this method, other then shutting cf down. By using proxying and health checks on the hardware LB we can load balance between the CF servers and I am able to take a server off the live site and still have jrun running on that server, so that I can perform testing/maintanence, etc.
