Load balancing using a Linux Box?

One opensource solution is to use ipmasqadm. From the man page:

   EXAMPLES
       Redirect all web traffic to  internals  hostA  and  hostB,
       where  hostB will serve 2 times hostA connections. Forward
       rules already masq internal hosts to outside (typical).

              ipchains -I input -p tcp -y -d yours.com/32 80 -m 1
              ipmasqadm mfw -I -m 1 -r hostA 80 -p 10
              ipmasqadm mfw -I -m 1 -r hostB 80 -p 20

Red Hat has an HA product that you may wish to look at.
