separate from what, the other realservers? the VIP?

yes
then it's more difficult to administer them and also they will lose access to common resources such as the backup server. So it looks like each realserver will have to be part of multiple lans or vlans into order to still have access to common resouces. In doing so, will it create any problems with routing for the VIP's and GW's?

such as?

I don't want any triangulation problems that can cause connections to hang.

what's a triangulation problem?
where you have the response packets best-routed around the director directly back to the client

There's only two topologies at least as I think about it.

o all machines on one physical network

o all machines on two physical networks (the director has two NICs)


Ok, some ascii art:

This is what I was referring to when I was commenting on topology and if it is possible to configure this way I was concerned about packets being best-routed somehow past the director through the second interface on the realservers.
