You might be interessted in using http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/
to build the loadbalancer part. You could route the traffic using
sticky connections to the right backend server. It is even possible
that the LVS Servers see only the incoming traffic not the replies.
This is an important feature if the limit of one gigbit interface is
reached.
