Not so much working at wire speed, but using LVS to handle a very
large number of telnet and ssh sessions.

Right, I understand that, but there will be an increased load on the
server if it's also going to be NAT'ing.  I would assume the load will
double.   Right now, I stay around 0.07, so it probably wouldn't be a
big deal.  However, the number of connections coming in will triple
(and then some).

See above.

I do think it might be worth a try though.

As far as specs go:
Quad Xeon 3.4Ghz
4GB Ram
10K SCSI drives, RAID5
Gig ethernet

Redundant with an identical system, using the ipvsadm --daemon options
to keep them syncd.
