Hi Nate,

I'm far from a Pluto or Portlets guru, but it seems to me that if you're 
implementing load balancing, then you need to be able to generate the 
same content from each of the servers involved.  In the case of 
portlets, that means a portlet container.

Depending on where the bottleneck lays, it may be worth looking into 
load balancing at the middle-tier or the persistence layer.


HTH,
