Hi Mike, I think almost all remoting solutions will require your data to be in a kind a tree form. This can be considered a smell as it may require conversions between your inner domain model which probably has cycles and the data sent over the wires which may not have them. In fact though like Holger already wrote I think there is no safe way to transport arbitrary graphs over the wire. So you most probably will have to cope with this.
Load balancing is an interesting question. CXF DOSGi does not handle this itself. It will simply provide all available endpoints as OSGi services. So this provides at least failover and you can add load balancing based on these local services if you like.
