Varnish will do the load-balancing for you as well. What you need to figure
out is the failover scenario fron one varnish to another - IF you really
need more than 99.9 percent uptime.
A varnish machine should have LOTS of memory and a fair bit of fast disk
with a BIG swapfile on it. Basically varnish treats the entire virtual
memory space as its cache storage and let's vfs worry about what should be
in memory and what can be swapped out.
