Quoting Jefferson Costa (jscostafortalnet.com.br):
> Network load balance.

Need. more. words. Load what aspect of what on what network?
This is a marketing phrase that can mean about anything a salesman wants.

Mail network traffic? MX records.
Web service to multiple machines? a variety of options.

Using multiple network providers? True routing and real IP addresses
   and cooperation of your service providers.

Failover of local workstations to multiple networks and a robust
infrastructure? OSPF and multiple routers.

If you are going to ask the nearly 14 million (give or take 14
million) people on this list a question, then providing enough
information to answer that question will help YOU a lot.

Describe what you problem you would like to solve
         what you would like to see as a result

GENERAL: Is there a portugese lang list that might be able to
help as language may also be an issue here?? (I hate posting
in french and understand that I'm more terse in alt-langs).
