UDP,TCP, HTTP load balancers for Linux

Hello
I am looking for a low-cost UDP/TCP/HTTP load balancer or my low volume
application. F5 and CISCO have good products but my vole does not
really require those expensive solutions.

Are their any low cost products (or software) out there?

Thanks

You can sort-of do it with IPtables using the "random" or "nth" modules.
I wrote an outline of this module (and a few others) in an article
entitled "The Hidden Treasures of IPtables" for the Linux journal a
while back. Check out the "Randomizing" section in..
