Sure ! Strictly speaking about LVS, it's the localnode feature. Then,
you'll have to adapt/configure/tweak the ha and monitoring tools.

Yes, I have 2 clusters made of only two RH7.3 nodes, both acting as
realservers and directors (active/passive).

If you're using piranha, I might supply a patch which will greatly
improve the feasability.
