150 clients off 3 servers at present. The load is mainly cpu and memory
load. If the kids are all hammering something like firefox at a lunch
break then the servers begin to flag a bit.

Its not so bad when the clients are all evenly spread across the 3
servers, but if one server bears the brunt then anyone using it will
find poor performance.

Needs are spreading the load first, but keeping in mind that if a server
goes down the clients will need to be picked up by the remaining
servers.
