I'm a running a Apache reverse proxy on PF+CARP, one node as master the

first DNS query.

So a user request www.website.com, DNS round-robin points the user to node1,
what happens when a the user makes another request ?


"It depends".  The client is in control of that.  Clients are different.

The setup I usually recommend is to have CARP (or similar) move one IP around and then ahve nginx or perlbal running to load balance to the actual servers.
