I do not know the exact costs.  I do know it is not cheap.  But it is the best hands-down.
 If you are looking for an open-source solution, you could take a looks at Zen Load
Balancer. I have never used it before.  This is just something I discovered with Google.

load balancing options

[Robin Garner]

We use F5 Big-IPs, but yes, they're expensive.

Prior to buying the F5s, we used Linux lvs / ipvs, with keepalived as 
the health checker/router.

http://www.keepalived.org/
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/

Getting started isn't simple, but it is very stable and easy to manage 
once its set up.

cheers
