Our bottleneck will be mostly bandwidth since our servers are fast

(HW-Loadbalancer and SW-Loadbalancer). Are they software/hardware
products? Would you please explain?
Well you have identified your bottleneck then you have the following
options, from my point of view:
1.) Upgrade the bandwidth ;-)
2.) Get more lines.
What is your infrastructure, is it like this?!
Internet

|more then 100Mbit

3.) One connect point and more *direct* answer server:
+------------------+
| client |
+------------------+
|
+------------------+
| www.whatever.com |
+------------------+
|redirect the client
| to www[1-n].whatever.com
--------------------------------------------
+------------------+
| client |
+------------------+
|
+-----------------------+
| www[1-n].whatever.com |
+-----------------------+
Pros:
1.) You should use per server one line, thefore the bandwidth problem
would be solved :-)
2.) Trivial loadbalancing.
Cons:
1.) Maybe expensive, because you need more HW-Boxen(Webserver)
2.) The bookmarking isn't very nice, expect you make a frameset around
the main site :-(
4.) Tuncate more lines from your isp, but i'am not a network guru and
therfore i have only a theoretical idea i'am not sure if it work for
you.

5.) Ask a *competent* consulting Company, yea it't not easy to find one
;-)
6.) Due the fact that you *know* that you have a bandwidth problem the
Loadbalancer solutions would not help you, i think.
But i think this is OT for this list, isn't it?!
