to all hosts in the LAN without using LVS? You can even use software
that can use a list with hosts to receive the broadcast message from
your X servers, in your case the hosts you try to use as XDMCP
real servers. I assume these broadcast XDMCP capabilities can help you
without using LVS?

I assume you have more hosts :) What kind of problems?
The real-servers in the cluster are very powerful boxes (well compared with
the lab machines anyway) as all three real-servers are dual Pentium III -
800Mhz with 512MB ram and Ultra-wide SCSI hardisks (nice toys!)
In the computer lab we run 50% linux 50% windows2000, The aim of putting
XDMCP onto the cluster would be to take advantage of the nice fast boxes to
provide remote X sessions to the people using the windows machines. I would
like it clustered as we already have the cluster, and it is powerful enough
to deal with the extra load.
Additionally we can then provide a shortcut on the desktop of the windows
machines which pops up the XDMCP machine selection window (using exceed)
and people can just click on the only machine there, and get a connection.
(otherwise the poor undergraduates will all get confused, or all use the
top box which will probably be some pathetic P2-233 and it will die
horribly from the extra load)
The real problem is more getting X sessions balanced across the servers
(I'm not even sure if this is possible), as if there wasn't XDMCP we could
always create a X session that only connected to the cluster.
This whole idea is to try and cater for the wider problem which is whatever
the operating system balance in the lab, people always complain that there
are either not enough linux or not enough windows machines :).
