Hi,
I'm not following the advantage of doing this with VMs. I've only dabbled
with them but I'm thinking to add additional processing power to the
network. If possible, I would like to scatter the servers throughout the
school and have them double as workstations for the teachers too. I know
the term "server" is loosely used in LTSP and isn't any special type of
computer. In our network the teachers get the best, strongest machines.
Often they are idle though as they are busy with students.
Am I correct in believing that once the load balancer assigns a request to
a particular server then that traffic would flow back and forth direct from
the client through the switch to the server?

Did I answer this above? Or is there some type of load balancing going on
in my single server system now? Like I said, I am thinking of using teacher
work stations as servers at the same time. Or is the idea totally whacked?
