I think he's just asking about how LVS handles multiple "clusters" or (as we
call them here) VIP.  LVS is very capable of hosting multiple VIPs.  In my
environment I have 5 or 6 VIPs on different interfaces and my load is always
under .1.

Hope that helps,

PS Joe - Ratz is trying to convince me to go to OLS.  I think I might go.
What's your experience with convincing work that OLS doesn't require
vacation time? ;)
