We're running Drupal in a server farm. The only thing we had to do differently was to make sure that the config file pointed at the database server, rather than localhost. I make changes to files (style sheets, templates, settings.php, etc.) on our master server, which then replicates everything out to the other servers. All of this is behind some fancy-shmancy load balancer (Alteon, I think); the only problems we've ever had is when one of the servers goes kablooey and stops accepting updated files for one reason or another, and that's hardly Drupal's fault!
Just wondering; how do you deal with users uploading documents (eg. avatars/pictures)? Do you put these on an NFS share so they become instantly visible on all servers? We're considering to leverage Apache's proxy passthrough for this, rather than using an NFS share.
