LVS is not really designed for writing to the realservers. To do
so, you have to serialise the writes and then propagate the writes
to the other realservers. This is a bit of a kludge, but is the way
everyone handles writes to an LVS. The other point of an LVS is
load balancing. What you're proposing is to turn off the loadbalancing
and have the content on each of the realservers different. You need
to be able to failout a realserver.
What you're proposing can be done, but it isn't an LVS anymore
