Firstly, no idea. Well...
Secondly, that's good news though... because it means that LVS is doing its job
well.
Thirdly, I think... if this is the case (everything being equal), then
something I thought about a while ago might be relevant.
And that is to automagically (again a simulation is good here) wake up
additional real servers to help with the load -- ie. add them to the farm
dynamically. This would be cool.
Of course then one has to wonder why are they in reserve and not all running? I
don't know. Hmm...
