the DNS for the name associated with the VIP?
It doesn't change. It's the same as if you moved
a single machine to the other end of town.

The routers have to figure out that the machine is in a new location,
but the DNS doesn't change.

an LVS to work has to look like one machine to the outside world.
There is only one IP exposed to the outside world for a each virtual
service.
For administration, all the computers will have private addresses
on the RIP network.
