I don't know if you guys saw this, but it might impact products you are using:

BTW, we use TMG for our front-end load-balancing. Does anyone have a good alternative?

If you don't need to be really sophisticated about your load balancing, you may be able to get away with just specifying multiple A-records in your DNS records, each with a different IP address of your different servers.  Then DNS will just round-robin requests to those different IP addresses.

We use a system from coyote point that we have been happy with, entry level hardware solution.

Down side of that is if a server goes down you are held hostage by your DNs ttl to remove it from the round robin. With the amount of downstream DNs caching this can take a while. 

Suspect I would give nlb a try prior to DNs round robin. 

Wish there was a good nginx port to windows that was performant.
