It still isn't entirely clear where LVS would fit into this, Erol.
Would you, for example, then run Apache and/or IIS on the guests and use
those as realservers? Or are you talking about something else?
LVS isn't "clustering technology" in the same way that VMWare, HP SSI,
Beowulf clusters and their ilk are. LVS is an intelligent router,
allowing you to make a group of servers appear as a single entity to the
clients accessing it. It's most commonly used for services like web,
email, DNS, RDP and so on (although the possibilities are endless).
