What web server?  You can do clustering/load balancing with Apache in a
few different ways:

http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Apache-Overview-HOWTO-7.html

Using method 1 there, you could probably even use apache as a gateway
load balancer for a variety of other web servers (Tomcat, Apache, IIS
(*shudder*), etc.).

Cache content?  Can you elaborate a bit on what you plan on caching?

"Sourcing" the content, as you stated, could be done using rsync at
pre-defined intervals.  I assume you want one box for development to
happen on.  Once code is ready for production, just stick it in a
specified directory, and the production cluster will get the new code
next rsync.
