We use a configuration with 1 primary and 3 secondary servers as described in [1]. The load balancing is not described in fully detail at that page. We followed the idea to dispatch the access to the secondary servers by random and load. Clients are not dedicated to a destinct server. From a list of possible secondary servers only the active machines will be selected. If one or two of the secondary servers are down all clients will connect to the remainig servers. Additionally the users have the possibility to select a destinct server from a list of active servers. See our ltsp-conf [2] and get_hosts [3] for details of client dispatching.
