I've had good luck using UltraMonkey (www.ultramonkey.org) with Red Hat 
9 to implement a webserver farm using lvs-dr.  The farm has two 
directors (primary and secondary using heartbeat) and two web servers 
(so far).  It took me a bit to wrap my head around the ultramonkey 
documentation vs. the config files but once I realized what was going 
on, setup was easy.
