LVS is a level 4 load balancer, not an application (layer 7) 
load balancer. In an LVS, all the realservers must serve 
identical content. I assume you have room1..n arbitarily 
assigned to server1..n and you want the client to be able to 
join any room they want. I don't know how to do this if the 
rooms are on different machines, even in principle, although 
from watching my son playing runscape, I see that this is 
done routinely.
