on this i would say we need some more information. if you are just load 
balancing 3 web servers you could start with a software solution and then move 
to a hardware if you need to. I really like barracuda for hardware load 
balancers.  for software there are numerous options...but if you could provide 
some additional information on the services that you have on your web servers 
that would be ideal. Some things that come to mind are dns and apache load 
balancing along with some other network items that you could do like managing 
your media in a geographical way.
