Well you understand the problem.
There has been comments by people dealing
with this problem (not many), but they seem to be still able to use LVS.
We don't hear of anyone who is having lots of trouble with this,
but it could be because no-one on this
list is dealing with AOL as a large slice of their work.

if 1/3 of your customers are from AOL you could sacrifice one server to them,
but it's not ideal. If all your customers are from AOL, I'd say we can't help
you at the moment.
how many different proxy IPs do AOL customers arrive on the internet from?
How many will appear from multiple IP's in the same session and how big
is the subnet they come from? (/24?)
If AOL customers come from at least 3 of these subnets and you have 3 servers,
then you can use LVS as a balancer.
