Isn't that what all these boxes are? Just some of them are not standard PC's are using customized versions of Linux...
It looks like it's really easy to set things up with Apache 2.2... From docs: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html ProxyPass /special-area http://special.example.com/ smax=5 max=10 ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster stickysession=jsessionid nofailover=On <Proxy balancer://mycluster> BalancerMember http://1.2.3.4:8009 BalancerMember http://1.2.3.5:8009 smax=10 # Less powerful server, don't send as many requests there BalancerMember http://1.2.3.6:8009 smax=1 loadfactor=20 </Proxy> So looks like it support sticky sessions, and different load methods... And the bonus is if you don't feel like setting up a linux server, you can just install Apache on windows (you can even do it in VMWare, and my guess is you're not even going to notice it, as it won't produce any load). I haven't tried it myself yet, we use a shared LB at HostMySite, but I'd be interested to know if anyone's set this up.
