The virtual IP address is that address that end-users will connec to.
This is the address of your cluster. And if you have end-users
connecting from the internet, then it needs to be a publicly routable
address. All other addresses may (or may not) be private RFC1819 addresses.

At least 1, though 3 would be easier.

This does not include the IP address for the router.

You need to install ultramonkey on the linux-directors, this should add
everything you need.

You do not need to install anything on the linux-directors.
Well, except for apache or whatever daemons you want them to run.
