Hi Dmitri,

I confirm Simon's statament that you can't do what you're suggesting due to
OpenNebula's cache mechanism.

However, we have recently found out scalability issues for large
deployments, where the xmlrpc server is a bottleneck. In the next
OpenNebula release we will provide configuration parameters to dramatically
improve the xmlrpc server performance, which will probably make it
unnecessary to load-balance the frontend as you described.

Regards,
Jaime
