Network load balancing means taking general IP traffic and distributing it among several networks. This is a function of routers (and switches with built-in routers, like Catalyst). Web load balancing means redirecting HTTP and HTTP/SSL requests, possibly with interception, across a specific group of servers that are prepared to handle that. Cisco sells LocalDirector and has some functions in IOS that assist this. -dsr- -- http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference.
