A simple system is not hard to set-up, you just install the vb files on each web server, pointing to the database (mysql will need to be running tcp networking). You then have two dns entries for your site, one for each ip address. When a client requests the dns address of your server, the dns server should alternately send each address, so in theory you should get about 50% of requests on each box.
I have sucessfully used this method on a site when we were very heavily loaded.
Such a system is quick and easy, anything above this will start needing extra hardware and software.
