John, Try looking at this from a different perspective. Think about the application that you are trying to add redundancy to (I am presuming you meant HA and not load balancing/clustering by mistake). Seperate out your shared requirements from your instance specific details. I guess that there is a specific application(s) that you want to make highly available - a good start would be to get the source and install these in user configurable directories. Once you have all the required folders nailed down you can look at using http://www.linux-ha.org/ to find out about mirroring your shared data.
