The answer to the first question is "no".

The answer to the second question is "it depends".

LVS is a router. It is not application aware. In your case, if you had 
(for example) only one website on your realservers with hostname 
www.abc.com, and this was the default site, then going to the IP address 
will display the site for www.abc.com.

If you configure your webserver appropriately, you can do all sorts of 
things depending on the host visitors request. This is, however, all 
done at the webserver and not via LVS.
