Pound is in the universe repository.* I'm not endorsing it as I've never had the need for a load balancer but it seems to be a pretty popular choice.

What exactly do you want to Load Balance?

WAN Links, Web Servers, Mail Servers?

There are many options available, depending on what you are trying to
accomplish...

This question came up on the 4th... "Linux Router(Load Balancer) cum
proxyserver".

I suggested:

There are several load balancers available in Ubuntu linux for several purpose.

Pound is an http load balancer. HAproxy is an http load balancer too.
HTTP load balancer are level7 load balancer because they operate at
the application layer (the 7th layer of the OSI model). IPVS is a
standard kernel module that can load balance several thousands of TCP
connexions.

From the repo's this is what I was able to find.

balance - Load balancing solution and generic tcp proxy
fair - high availability load balancer for TCP connections
pen - Load balancer for "simple" tcp based protocols
pound - reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web servers
python-pydirector - pure Python TCP load balancer

If you do pursue this venture it would be pretty great of you to post up your results and findings. ; )
