I do something like this but solved it a completely different way.  I put storage behind the balanced servers and shared it among them using NFS.  That way every server sees a consistent set of files.  Otherwise users get "nailed" to a server and that sort of defeats the purpose of load balancing.  Hope this helps.

yeah this is probably the traditional way, i do it this way as well.

nfs can be annoying though; i would suggest using freebsd, netapp or a solaris based server instance if possible. nfs on linux is notoriously weak.
