I worked with a customer once that had a software based load

servers.
Like Linux with Heartbeat + ldirectord or keepalived?
Never used those but sounds similar, at least in principle. I don't
know the exact product name, but I suspect it was http://
www.resonate.com/prod_centr_disp.html -- certainly sounds like it or
very similar.
Anyone know of something like this that runs on OpenBSD? The master
controller part on openbsd would be great, with agents for various
other operating systems as well. carp/pfsync is great, but I'm
thinking of a times when the application that needs to be load
balanced won't run on openbsd, say only on Solaris.

That talk was about what you're asking for. It ran on FreeBSD using
CARP and PF + their own Python app to orchestrate it all, but I'd be
surprised if it wouldn't just work on OpenBSD.
It's not available yet, but it will be published under an open source
license "soon", according to Kostas Zorbadelos who gave the speech.
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it.
