No, even if you'are indentical box, customers can read differents
page. Some of them may heavy php/sql which implies a higher load
average than a simple static html file. (in the case of http load
balancing..) 

Well, I think it should be interesting to devel a small application
running on real server which send the load average on the box to the
real server which adapt the weight automatically.

- Just an opinion of a poor LVS user
