Brocade ADX series are also worth looking at (previously: Foundry
ServerIron).  Their smallbox will do 1G of LB, with options for both local

Lots of possibilities here: MPLSoGRE, LISP, IPSEC, etc.  If it's IP all the
way, it would be really good if the MTU was > 1500, so that the OP could
have an encapsulated mtu of 1500.
