-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 LVS is actually a very good idea. The only caution I'd give you is that you probably should share the filesystems among the real servers using some sort of a parallel filesystem rather than just NFS. We use a commercial one called IBRIX at my work, but you could look into RedHat's GFS or PVFS. Anyone have any other recommendations for parallel filesystems? I'm pretty new to this particular arena.
