There's quite a few out there...
I dabbled with IBM's Network dispatcher back in the very early days (I
thought it got a new name, but it seems not [1]) - it was the first
system I saw which did what people are now calling "Direct Server Return".
SGI also has a product - Network Load Balancing Software [2] (or NLBS,
catchy..) and I thought Sun had one but I can't find it.
In the "free" area, there's LVS as you've mentioned (which the UK
Academic Network Web Cache Service uses to great effect [3]), and there's
Eddie [4] too.
