The LVS that Luke is talking about is Linux Virtual Server, which can use
Network Address Translation for its load balancing which is exactly what
Robin is looking for. There's probably dedicated hardware that will handle
NAT load balancing for you, but I've used LVS in the past and as long as
you've got an extra old linux box with a couple NICs in it, LVS works quite
well. Also, if you DO need each SSL connection to go to the same web
server, LVS can do that using the persitent connection options. Take a look
at http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org for more info. Good luck.

Austin, I like your attitude!
Robin,
I have load balanced my site using RedHat Linux 6.2 which includes Piranha
(Clustering software)
It uses 1 public IP for the load balancer ( called LVS, forgot what it
stands for ) and private IPs for the web servers. The storefront application
I run does not need each SSL connections to go to the same web server, so
things work out fine.
Luke
