Thanks, Krist. I thought that it should work in theory too, but it doesn't in practice :( Basically, about 10% of requests to www.mydomain.com fail (time out) if I set the servernames to www.mydomain.com for both servers and then try to use VirtualHosts. We have to use virtualhosts because we need things like partner1.mydomain.com and partner2.mydomain.com. I am not sure what to do at this point.
