I've been thinking, why not have two IPs per virtual service.  Thus in
the haresources you might have:
 lvs1 10.1.1.1
 lvs2 10.1.1.2

And in the DNS you could have

service IN A 10.1.1.1
        IN A 10.1.1.2

Then the DNS will (roughly) round robin clients (or sites, depending on
the client's DNS setup and caching) between the directors, and the
directors will load balance to the real servers.  I've not given it
extensive thought, but I don't see any reason why this should not work
in a very straightforward fashion.

Brian.
