Despite the comments mentioned here, Round Robin is
actually just fine. Its not perfect, but I haven't
experienced any problems with it (other than when i introduced more than 23 servers in the rotation) nor have I have seen
the clumping that was mentioned above.
Load Balancers are indeed the ideal solution but if you
are using only one of them then you are introducing a single
point of failure which defeats one of the purposes of
having a load balanced system. If you can afford it, redundant
load balancers are the nice cadillac solution. But for galleries,
i would tend to stay with simple and cheap.
