machines. For more planned maintenance you can of course also use DNS to
shift load from one machine to another.

Hi Brian,
well, i don't think there is one canonical solution to this problem. We use
basically everything of the technologies you mentioned above in one part of
our system or another. ;-) It depends e.g. on your setup, your load, your
customer requirements, your internal organisation..
