The smallest "real" load balancer I've used is the Foundry serveriron  
XL.  They are a bit quirky, aren't exactly feature rich, but once  
running are bloody reliable.  My experience of support from Foundry  
was woeful but that was on their more "capable / expensive" kit (which  
we threw out years ago).  The XL's ran for many, many years without  
needing Foundry support and proved themselves to be a good little unit.
