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!
