You may try squid, although I doubt that squid works
with https in your setup. Squid needs to know the
private keys in order to decrypt the session-info so
it can be session-aware. One way to deal with this is
to let squid decrypt and pass it on to IIS as
cleartext. Squid is capable of removing unwanted
URL's.

But statefull loadbalancing may not be squids
strength.

We are using LVS (Linux Virtual Server). Although I
would have preferred a BSD-solution, nothing beats LVS
in terms of scalability. Had an old 486 with 64 MB
RAM, which could handle more than 10.000 unique
visitors a day.
