large cache farms are running LVS. 
Small LVS's can saturate 100Mbps F.E.

this is only a limit if you are using LVS in VS-NAT mode. You would be better to
use
the director in VS-DR mode, where you don't have this problem.

currently with 2 directors, one is on standby. No-one has multiple
directors running simultaneously with one VIP. You could have multiple
directors if you are serving more than one VIP, and the multiple
directors could be using the same 30 real-servers.
