Just wondering, as I have zero knowledge on these servers, are they the same as Adobe Flash Media Streaming ? Because if so, there seems to be a good howto at f5 : http://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/f5-adobe-flash-media-dg.pdf And since they're using totally generic TCP forwarding (even for health checks), it might help you configure the servers appropriately for being load balanced.
