IPVS as it stands will load balance traffic betwen the 4 real servers at
the IP layer. It is not able to examine packets and direct traffic based on
the URL (or any other information) that is requiested. If you wish to have
different users hosted on different real servers then the Virtual Server
will have to see this traffic as coming in on a different VIP (or port). If
you want all the users to come in on the same IP on port (e.g.
http://www.servername.blah/...) then you will need to have the data for all
users accessible on all the real servers. You can do this either through
mirroring or some sort of network file system. Coda (mentioned in other
mails) is one such solution. Rsync, NFS, RSBMSs are some others.
