WHOA! - Yes load balancers can be complicated if you want to use all
the features, but "prone to failure"?? where do you get that from?
We have hundreds of them and they work great. We even have our 4 KDC's
behind one with not a single problem ever.
One of my load balancers has over 950 hours of continuous uptime
without so much as a hiccup. If it *did* fail, it would simply fail
over to it's standby load balancer and keep right on going (we install
them in pairs so there is never a single point of failure).
