Fred;

A good starting point is the HOWTO's

http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.html

I found that after setting up the simple LVS's in the mini-HOWTO I had my head around the principles involved - and from there it is easy to move to more complicated scenarios.

As for "Is this possible" - definately - database comms run on known ports that can be redirected by LVS, what I would be mindful of is your databases are going to need to stay conncurrent (all have identical data) - using shared storage would be a good way to do this (if possible) or Oracle has its own update system.
