I currently run LVS (pre-distribution) on my farm, which gets about 100M hits/month.
Good points about LVS are that it is completely rock solid, and runs on minimal hardware. I have never run MySQL behind it, as I think that would be a bit flaky for a live site. Probably worth checking out though. I would think that instead of LVS Load Balancing, server failover might be a more viable path for MySQL.

Hi All, We have recently acquired some new machines for our ASP service, and I am investigating different options and setups to optimize everything. We currently have one large DB server, with RAID5, etc, running mysql and a few smaller servers for web applications, and e-mail. These smaller servers arent all identical in their software, and they run different services. We currently have reached a certain limit in the DB as well as in some of our applications on the webservers, hence the need for something expandable. I have read slightly about MySQLCluster, as well as some other solutions such as openMosix, Mosix and LVS. I was wondering if you guys have experience, and what you would recommend for the DB and for the webservers. I still want to maintain them separate, even if I end up having 2 different clusters, I prefer to keep the DB away from the application for security reasons. Thanks!
