Hi Drew, I know of several installations of Graylog which use load balancers in front of a Graylog cluster. Are there any specific problems you've encountered in regard to Graylog's part in this setup?
Just one remark: Load balancing GELF messages sent via UDP (Graylog's GELF UDP input) might cause some problems due to the chunking feature which requires all chunks of a GELF message being sent to the same Graylog server node. Also take a look at http://docs.graylog.org/en/1.1/pages/load_balancers.html for some hints how to configure a highly available Graylog setup.
