Jacob,
You have the right idea. The question is can the same load balancer pair
serve n clusters own unique ID address
LVS Backup
|
| ______ Site a apache inst 1 2 & 3 (ip address: x)
LVS------|
|______ Site b apache inst 1 2 & 3 (ip address: y)
|
|______ Site c apache inst 1 2 & 3 (ip address: z)
is this possible?
Would it be better to put a load balancing lvs pair infront of each cluster
(x,y, and z) would it perform poorly?
I understand LVS works well up to about 100 servers
Thanks,
-R

right, if using name based virtual hosting. he seemed to indicate that
he needed to isolate websites by clients, which lvs can't do with named
based virtual hosting, since that requires looking at the HTTP request.
the original email was a little light on details, so it's difficult to
really know what he's trying to do.
sorry for the confusion.
