 Another option to look into is the Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager (
http://www.zeus.com).  It's a fraction of the price of the Cisco and F5
options, and considerably easier to configure.  It also has other nice
features included in the price, such as SSL offloading, simple clustering,
and scriptable routing rules.
