X2go has load balancing included in x2goclient code. On possible  
mechanism for load balancing is using LDAP. We currently do not offer  
LDAP bootstrap utilities any more, though. And it is not documented in  
the Wiki either. A real deficit that you digged out.

Tools for X2go http broker based load balancing are currently under  
development, but not yet released for the public. This is all  
x2goclient based, currently.

Python-X2go at the moment does not have any kind of load balancing  
included. Once the http brokerage code is available for the community,  
I will probably add the client part to python-x2go, so it will be able  
to use pyhoca-gui, pyhoca-cli with load balancing or simply write your  
own little X2go application that handles load balancing.

More generic load balancers (like DNS round robin etc.) may or may not  
work, but personally, I do not think they will.

Greets,
Mike
