a) Check to see if you can pay the $5k extra now and upgrade your
hardware. In most cases, session affinity is just a software
upgrade.
b) Check out Eddie <http://eddie.sourceforge.net>, which has a
load-balancing module that, as far as I can tell, does support
session affinity:

c) search freshmeat.net for "load balancer". There are some hits
there, but I'm not familiar with any of them to the degree that I
can tell you whether or not they support session affinity.
Jay: yes, "session affinity" is the correct term :)
