yes, as long as the files the service(s) see are identical from all the
realservers. For mail you have to use nfs from a single server.
Remember to turn off identd (auth) for sendmail/qmail (it's in the HOWTO -
and see a thread starting 25 Mar called
"poor performance using hidden arp method"
People have done it with sendmail and another with qmail. Someone even
gave performance figures recently but I can't put my hands on them (and
I'm the one who's suppposed to keep track of this sort of thing).
