Not that I've found so far, and I believe I've been through the documentation fairly thoroughly. I won't claim I understand everything I've read, but the only load-balancing references I have come across relate to sharing across vlans and etherchannel links. Right tool for the job? The 3550 has been deemed pretty much an access switch. Cisco sells lots of other expensive things to do load sharing among multiple servers. Lastly, the CCIE Lab cannot possibly test everything of importance or relevance. When trying to detemine Lab content, one question to ask might be "what about this technology or feature can become complex in an interaction with other equipment and other features?" In other words, the CCIE Lab is not necessarily about configuring features on equipment, but rather about successfully implementing a complex scenario. It is true that there is some monkey work there, but it is far more true that configuration requirements are designed to test one's ability to think through implications. A particular requirement might state that you have to do A. What it will not state is that as a result of doing A, you have to add knobs B,C, and D, or else your redistribution is hosed, or your DLSw peers flap, or you are now seeing routes that you should not be seeing.
