Yup.  We use LVS for all types of failover senarios.  We use it for
redundant firewall/vpn servers which use heartbeat for failing over
the virtual IPs and services.  We also use LVS with ldirectord as
redundant load balancers.  Read the docs, they explain how to set up a
service to be started/stopped on failover
