Linux on UltraSPARCs SUCKS...  I've used it a couple of times here at 
work and it is horrid.  Nothing works on it.  IPfilter supports round 
robin balancing. (http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ipfil-new.html) 
If you need more than that I think you should probably look into 
getting intel hardware for the lvs or one of the other things you 
were looking for:
