Thanks for the advice, you've both confirmed what I thought. I'll pass your
ideas onto our developers though and see what they think. Alternatively
we'll probably end up with a failover solution and hoping that a single real
server can take the peak load.
Thanks again,
Phil

I don't think that you can do it either. Though of course
you could hack LVS to do something strange. Probably
the easiest way would be to get it to ignore the destinatino port when
setting up persistance templates. Actually, that should be pretty straight
forward.
