Have you taken a look at LVS yet? I presume that you are not attempting this on a Windows cluster - right?

no windows here :-) I hadn't checked out LVS - I'll do some reading, although currently we're working on a Xen based system. actually the virtualisation aspect is purely to avoid having to purchase a stack of machines at the current time. the aim of the game is to allow redundancy and scalability - building the serverfarm as VMs now and then migrating them to seperate hardware as the need/money arises. actually the biggest stumbling block is getting GFS running - something which is way over my head :-) (oh look it's a plane ;-)

http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ I just had to do the same thing for my University systems - come up with an architecture at least.
