Talk about expensive. Load balancing hardware is not cheap.

Why make it difficult... Just setup two WI servers (One for each farm)
and use a Cisco CSS to load-balance the two WI... Half will use the
Published apps from one WI server, and half will use the other. If one
farm goes down, the other farm is available (I am assuming this is for
Redundancy/DR otherwise it doesn't make any sense to LB the same
application across two farms.) You should also look into using multiple
zones instead of multiple farms.

Subject: [THIN] Web Interface - Load Balancing between farms
Greetings,
I have a requirement to develop a solution that would load balance an
application through Web Interface to two different farms. So for example
a user would click on Notepad and the Web Interface would calculate the
load on each of the farms for the Notepad application and direct the
user to that farm to launch the application. Don't need anything fancy
for the load balancing mechanism. Application session count would
probably be ok. I just read through the WI 4.0 SDK and am pretty sure I
can code something, but I wanted to check and make sure that someone
else hasn't already tackled this problem before I got down and dirty in
coding something myself.
