Priyank, You can use a Webcache frontend to provide software only load balancing and session persistence, and this is certified, but wont give you high availability (If the host where the webcache is goes down, the system becomes unaccessible).

I understand that this is not certified, but given the situation, I need to take this up as a challenge. I have gone down to the OS level to get a resolution to this. One option is using Heartbeat package shipped for Linux. I'm also investigating using the IPVS service distributed with the RHEL to get around the issue of maintaining session data such as cookie to ensure that the client always connects to the same server. Will keep you all posted on any developments. Any help on this subject is much solicited. Thanks, Priyank.
