LVS does not set artificial limits on the number of servers that you can
have. The real limitations are the number of packets you can get through
the box, the ammount of memory you have to store connection information and
in the case of LVS-NAT the number of ports available for masquerading.
These limitations effect the number of concurrent connections you can
handle and your maximum through-put. This indirectly effects how many
servers you can have.
