Is there any correlation between different load balancer types?

Is there any correlation between different load balancer types?

For e.g.

  1. Is DNS load balancer software or hardware?
  2. Is DNS load balancer L3 or L6?
  3. Are L3/L6 load balancer hardware or software?

Because all definitions seem disjoint and independent. Also what load balancing algorithm does each use?
