The question was about FreeBSD. Do you know any HA solutions working with it? 
My company would be glad to spend quite a lot if there were one.

Don't top-post, please.

We've built a setup for dynamic pages on CARP and mod_backhand (apache module). 
It doesn't scale to more than 50 application servers though. The shared storage 
is a big problem. All the well-known (?) SAN filesystems doesn't work on 
FreeBSD. We're testing FreeBSD NFS client for stability (see my thread on this 
list); NFS server doesn't seem to be ready for production use. We're going to 
purchase a clustered NetApp solution (now testing on Solaris as NFS server).
You can apply a "circle" replication using standard MySQL features. This method 
is used in livejournal and officially admitted by MySQL AB; it doesn't provide 
scalability though. We're trying to make 2 "master + multiple slaves" 
hierarhies; the solution is not ready yet. If PostgreSQL is an option in your 
project it provides a better idea (see pgcluster).
