That's why most real solutions involve a pair of hardware load balancers. Which removes your single point of failure. NB. Sessions should always be stored on a backend database or you won't get failover. Linux Virtual Server in combination with heartbeat will do this, and so will balance with VRRP. Or commercial options like Loadbalancer.org, F5 & Foundry etc.
