The way of doing it at layer 4 is to use ip addresses i.e. : (surely not hard to get some more ips?) But MAY require the app to be change'd slightly (normaly easier than you think.)

Layer 7 (i.e. a proxy NOT a router) will always be much slower than layer 4.
NB. As sugested you could use SQUID or Apache modules to proxy stuff (probably)

As for performance of  KTCPVS , I'm sure its pretty good.. just try it and see 
if it works for your needs.
You don't really believe commercial load balancer stats witout testing for your 
own environment do you? :-).
