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? :-).
