People aren't looking real hard since you can saturate almost any link to the internet with just a couple of realservers. > Also is there a limit to how many Real Servers can be behind a Director? No-one's found it. In the early days someone ran 1024 realservers by putting multiple RIPs on 4 boxes. Not quite the same thing, but a test at least. > I have heard that after 20 or so Real Servers LVS Director starts having > issues what are they?

The director is just a router with slightly strange rules. It's just forwarding packets and all it's concerned with is bandwidth. I wouldn't expect it to cause any problems However I don't know of anyone running 80 realservers with millions of connections.
