As you see there is no built in feature, you have to make one by 
yourself. And remember use Linux distro that supports very old 
hardware/CPU. There is almost nothing documentation nor examples of 
configuration of any kind of load balancing. If someone makes one, it is 
not public documented, it is sad thing.

I think almost all LTSP use is something like one classroom, one server 
and one network/LAN with some three/five years old computers. And in 
that situation LTSP-PNP (Debian or Ubuntu) is really great.


LTSP-PNP can handle thin clients also. I did install Debian LXDE 
LTSP-PNP in Virtualbox and used virtual thin client in Virtualbox. It 
did have only 64 MB memory and thin client did boot just fine.

Graham's solution seems very good, go with it.

So I can't help you more, my own documentation is outdated and also in 
finnish ;-D
