You peaked my interest. I did some digging. I see no mention of doing load-balancing that does not include Apache. There are other ways:
DNS Load Balancing (affinity not guaranteed - dead server = bad requests) Clustering (better - but SSL geeks affinity) As it happens, you can wire a hardware SSL-decoder in front of your cluster-manager and overcome the shortcomings of that approach. I think the best solution is Apache + Tomcat though. It's undoubtedly cheaper/easier. So - you ready to install Apache yet? Breeze over to the Oreilly site and look for "Apache Wrangler" and something called LAMP. You'll find an article that will point you to a script that will download/install Apache + SSL (it even "pre-configures" it for you - whatever that means). If you have the option of using RPMs, I'd go with that option though. RPM == good (IMHO).
