The clustering technique you need is Linux Virtual Server (LVS). See: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ But the Load Blancer LVS is a Single Point of Failure. You can make that server high available with Linux-HA (heartbeat). So make a cluster of two nodes the LVS server and 18 real servers doing the work. Configuring the LVS and monitoring the real server is NOT job of the ipvs kernel module of LVS. You need extra software to do this. A VERY easy approach is using ldirectord, which integrates nicely into heartbeat. Hope this short hints help you.
