well you could probably do it for free with apache itself, or the lvs project. peronally i'm currently upgrading our F5 LTM 6400 load balancers, serious high end load balancing...

Hello,
Did any one familiar with layer 4 and 7 load balancing?what is te difference between them?

well the difference is that one works on layer 4 data, tcp port numbers etc... and one is layer 7, http headers etc... sounds like you need to read up on your OSI 7 layer model.

as for lvs, i mean google for lvs.
