It depends on what you want to do. Having some sort of network
filesysetem (e.g. nfs) is often a good way to go/

How long is a piece of string? It depends on a number of factors.
Primarily how familiar you are with networking (on Linux) and
LVS, and how complex your setup is.

Genreally speaking it can do anything that can run over UDP or TCP.
Of course there are caveats to this and some protocols,
like FTP for instance, require helper code in LVS because
multiple connections are involved in a single session.
