The cost is relative. Most Enterprises are more than will to invest in a
pair of hardware load-balancers in order to provide higher availability of
services.

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.
