We used Pound (http://www.apsis.ch/pound) on a couple of FreeBSD servers some years ago. Configuration is simple and the software has lots of good and interesting features. The only problem was that always our traffic had a spike, serving pages through it became a nightmare. Eventually we ended up buying a couple of Foundry/Brocade load balancers (Server Iron). I don't know what is software's current development state but if they managed to solve those performance issues it would be an interesting choice, if you really want to go that way. HTH
