Hardward load balancing is when you use specific types of network
equipment which present a single external interface while directing
traffic evenly between the servers behind it.

Software does the same, but you'd install it on a server acting as a
front controller.  You can use the mod_proxy & mod_proxy_balancer Apache
modules for this.

Or you use openmosix and make a pool of boxes act as a single server
image with apache forked processes being distributed across the pool.

The pool is self balancing and the management console is flashy
enough to impress PHB's. :-0
