"Networks are dumb, computers are smart. That isn't going to change (if you don't know why, I'll be very happy to educate you). "

The server is becoming irrelevant. As long as minimum standards are met, let Cisco do the rest. Most of my customers do. You can get five 9's with the cheap servers (cheap relative to Sun, that is).

Let Cisco educate you:

Cisco System's Local Director is a high-availability, Internet scalability solution that intelligently load balances TCP/IP traffic across multiple servers. Servers can be automatically and transparently placed in or out of service, and LocalDirector itself is equipped with a hot standby failover mechanism, eliminating all points of failure for the server farm. LocalDirector is a high performance Internet appliance with proven performance in the highest traffic Internet sites.

Cisco LocalDirector is tightly integrated with a Cisco network. The Accelerated Server Load Balancing (ASLB) feature works in conjunction with the Catalyst® 6000 and Catalyst 6500 to accelerate TCP sessions. The ASLB feature set ensures load-balancing performance greater than 800 Mbps and up to 15 Mpps. Implementing the multinode feature improves a systems administrator's ability to build highly available server systems. The Cisco LocalDirector, in conjunction with Cisco routers, now allows multiple points of access to the servers achieving the ultimate in availability. The Cisco quality-of-service (QoS) Policy Manager is able manage Cisco LocalDirector QoS attributes.
