Richard,
YES! You certainly need a dedicated ip for each machine!
Take for example the following scenario:
1 out of every 3 times you hit your web server you find a page that is out
of date.
How do you know which server the problem is on? This is easy enough to tell
by going directly to the server and looking at the source, but there are
lots of times where you will want to know exactly is happening on a specific
server.
Here is another example. If you use application.cfm and go to clear your
application variables.. How can you be sure on a load balanced site that you
have hit all of your servers? The easy way is to place your clear app
template on a dedicated ip for each server.
Once you're using dedicated ip's setting up verity is the same as on a
single box you just have to make sure you run your templates to update
verity from the dedicated ip not the load balanced one.

Claudio,
Perhaps I am just not experienced enough with collection-creation scripting.
The way you suggest, I will need a dedicated IP for each machine, won't I?
As it is set up now, load balancing prevents me from knowing which machine I
am on at any given time.
