I used it for 2 years in a little room (around 10 clients), it was working quite well. But my DHCP servers were the same as my LTSP servers (the dhcp server tells on which server to boot). It is simple but not very different than DHCP setup with a DHCP failover and a 50/50 split. Look here http://web.archive.org/web/20080410200233/http://theseus.sourceforge.net/projects/ets/supplemental.html http://web.archive.org/web/20080410200233/http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WorkInProgress#LTSP_load_balancer if you need more explanations. Another option is to use a boot disk with the server address built in (I think it is feasible with Etherboot). But in your case, ltsp-cluster looks like a better solution.
