I'm not sure you can use LVS for FreeNX load-balancing. I think that in
order to support suspending/resuming of NX sessions, you need a mechanism
that allows you to recognize a session-resume-request in order to send the
request to the server where the user left his session suspended.

I don't think LVS is prepared to support this kind of stateful
load-balancing for NX sessions.
