Raj, For your environment, things are pretty simple.
You have two servers you want to load balance across. You can use any load balancer mechanism you want to simply direct traffic to either of them using whatever balancing strategy (round robin, percentage, whatever) you want. You can use a software load balancer without issue – in fact, the majority of AR System customers do use software load balancers. It can run on the same machine as one of the AR System servers or on a separate machine (of course if you run on one of the same machines, if you lose the machine, you lose your load balancer so it is best to run on a separate machine). And, wherever I say machine, it can be a VM of course. There is no special configuration you have to worry about for a simple scenario of a balancer over AR System servers.

Currently, we installed ARS v8.1 in Server Group on 2 VMs(OS - Linux). We tested some fail-over scenarios and it is working fine after we configured entries in Server Group Operation Ranking form. We are fairly new to Server Group install and load balancing our Remedy environment. We do not have mid-tier but we only use Remedy User Tool(v7.6.04 SP5). We may not be able to go the route of hardware load balancing since it would require new hardware/server provision. Considering the above facts, looking for some suggestions/recommendations from Remedy gurus in here on what can be done in our environment to facilitate load balancing.
