Can I have some suggestions on how to load balance servers that are on
seperate IP blocks?  Is there any way to perform translation at this
level?  Exclude DNS based balancing please...


Take a look at Nortel's Alteon product line, Cisco's CSS product line, or 
F5's BigIP Product Line.  All of which have Global Server Load Balancing 
capability.  The GSLB can be done a number of different ways on these 
boxes including stupid DNS tricks (not your typical round robin stuff, but 
still DNS) and using a BGP configuration.

Hope this helps!
