On the LVS servers you can run apache with mod_proxy comiled in, then
redirect traffic with it.
Example
ProxyPass /files/downloads/ http://internaldownloadserver/ftp/
ProxyPass /images/ http://internalimagesserver/images/
more on Proxy pass:

or you can use mod_rewrite, in that case, your REAL servers should be
reachable from the net.
there is also a transparent proxy module for apache
