There are two layers to consider here.

1. What LVS can do.

LVS can manage virtual services independantly (eg to VIP1:service1,
VIP2:service2..VIPn:servicen).

2. Routing the packets for your LVS setup.

If VIP1..n are on different networks, you have to arrange to route
these packets to the director (the director has to be 
on these different networks). You then have to get the
packets from the director to the realservers. If you have
VIPs from n different networks, then you'll have to setup
routing to get the packets to the realservers. None
of this has anything to do with LVS. It's just a routing
problem. Whether you do this with 1 or n NICs is up to you.
