There are multiple kinds of load balancing that are intended for different 
goals.  For example, are you trying to balance load on web servers, or load 
across network links?  The answer may be "both", but I think it's important to 
actually tease out the goals.

Your network consists of four hosts for clients, two hosts for servers, and (I 
am assuming) and OpenFlow switch and controller.  How does the router figure in 
here?

You might look at POX's ip_loadbalancer component (in the carp branch).  It is 
a quick and dirty example of doing IP load balancing for TCP flows (for 
example, spreading traffic across web servers).  A screenshot:

Hope that helps.
