There are tools that can do health checks and to modify
the IPVS configuration accordingly:
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/software/index.html
look at "Other software components for LVS"
The decision to use particular real server, its weight, what
virtual servers to be configured, etc is taken from these tools.
Some users create scripts to reconfigure the LVS configuration
based on simple checks. It is up to you to decide what kind of
control is preferred and then to grab the right tool.

May be because nobody is using iptables for load balancing.
