Not entirely. The realserver process will migrate between processors all
on its' own, as the CPU scheduler determines that a given processor is
idle. In your case, however, having a dual-core HT processor which
*looks like* 4 processors, you actually only have 2. There are some
well-written pieces out there on the internet stating that for servers
you're actually better off having HT turned off, for Linux at least,
because the SMP overhead under HT consumes a small amount of
performance. I don't know whether or not this is right, though.

Run a Xen host. Have several Xen guests - one for the director, and two
for the realservers. That way, although it's all virtual, it'll look
real to the guests.
