This is what I do with a server written using Sisc Scheme. If you
don't want to go to the trouble of setting up Apache just for the task
of load balancing another option is Pound: http://www.apsis.ch/pound/

Pound will also do the session affinity trick based on a cookie value,
url value, or ip address.
