The clustering and data-replication feature does not require specific
load-balancing solution. You can use the software load-balancer
provided with GlassFish (and administer it from the GF admin console)
or use any third party session load-balancing such as BigIP's F5 as

In any case, you do need some sort of load-balancing "in front" of your
cluster.
