Sure, but...

The idea is that we only need some sort of very simple load balancing: 
have statistically the same number of users on each node. Actually, if 
the nodes are all equivalent a simple DNS trick can do the job. But we 
have 4 servers, 2 being stronger than the others, and we want some weight.
My idea was to use the get_hosts trick, choosing the nodes at random 
with different weights for different nodes.

The ltsp-cluster system is much more complicated; also, what sort of 
"load" is taken into account? here we have users who look at their 
screen for a long time, then make a LaTeX compilation, then use a text 
editor and so on... The cpu load for example, is not a good measure of 
what whe want to take account of.

Yours
t.d.
