How do you setup multiple IDPs to answer requests

[Michael A Grady]

Yes, the clustering model that suits you depends on your use cases and environment -- the service providers/services you need to interact with, whether any of those only support SAMLv1.1 and will need to do attribute queries, whether you will be layering your IdPs over an existing SSO environment (e.g. CAS) that already provides the SSO support, etc. So reading the background material that Rod pointed you at is the best place to start, because then you'll have a sense of the range of options and the limitations/requirements of each.

What kind of volume are you expecting? What are some key services for which Shib will be used for authentication?
