Can I have some suggestions on how to load balance servers that are on seperate IP blocks? Is there any way to perform translation at this level? Exclude DNS based balancing please...
Take a look at Nortel's Alteon product line, Cisco's CSS product line, or F5's BigIP Product Line. All of which have Global Server Load Balancing capability. The GSLB can be done a number of different ways on these boxes including stupid DNS tricks (not your typical round robin stuff, but still DNS) and using a BGP configuration.
I second this suggestion. I worked briefly at F5 Networks in 2001 and was responsible for supporting Big-IP and 3DNS. Both are very nice products, but NOT cheap. -J.
