Clustering for Load Balancing

Is there any documentation explaining how to cluster qpid brokers for load balancing as opposed to reliability (failover)?  

The documentation for setting up a broker cluster says that the Active/Active model is the default, and it provides for enhanced load-balancing.  However, when I cluster two virtual RHEL5 instances (on separate physical machines) I usually get similar (or worse) perftest results when compared to a single virtual/physical machine.  

Thanks.

If you are only after load-balancing, the a federation setup would be 
the way to go
