I doubt you need to spend money/time on a dedicated load balancer.<br>
Just setting up all your MailScanner servers as MX hosts in your DNS<br>
should do the trick for free. Load balancing via round robin from DNS<br>
and failover from SMTP automatically picking the next MX if one is not<br>
available.<br>
