Thank you Matthew that was exactly the answer I was looking for. I am not
going to be over ambitious from the start, and will try to get the basic
setup running , the load balanced servers are running Coldfusion, so
basically it will be only web traffic to be load balanced. The Coldfusion
servers at the backend use SQL Servers installed on two separate machines,
These boxes are dedicated Windows 2003 servers only running SQL Server 2005,
which I plan to load balance using Windows Clustering.
Thanks a lot,
Imran.

This will also largely depend on how you're setting up LVS, are you
setting up keepalived or ultramonkey? I'm assuming ultramonkey given
the set-up you described. Do you want a basic set-up or an advanced
set-up (for example a set-up with high-throughput), also what services
are you runnning on the real servers (MySQL for example takes a lot
longer to configure in the ldirectord.cf file than apache does).
Assuming that you're doing a basic set-up with ultramonkey and load
balencing only apache, with your experience I would say that total
time from start of install to running (install and debug) will
probably be around 1 -2 days (8 - 16 hours), but that's also not going
to yield a production quality server, that's just load-balenced
fail-over server up and running. How long till production quality is
a question that I can't answer for you either.
