It depends. What application are you using to manage your LVS?

LVS itself (using ipvsadm) does no healthchecking. If a realserver goes
down, its' weight stays the same.

If, however, you're using ldirectord, keepalived, or some similar
application, the behaviour will be different according to your
configuration.
