I'm not clear on why you can't just use round robin DNS to distribute IPs to the servers directly, it doesn't seem to offer less reliability.
I guess the virtual server provides finer grained load balancing?
You need a fairly big network with plenty of machines to justify this; then again, a really big network if it's so important probably also has multiple Internet connections.
And did I skim over stuff about detecting when one of the real machines has crashed so it can be taken out of the pool, or is this article just a bit too light on detail...
