Shibboleth in a load balancer enveiroment

[Dave Perry]

Clustering suggests multiple identical services (so usually servers) which the load balancer dishes out tasks to depending on the rules setup.
Your statement suggests that you want to be able to have a shibboleth-protected service running behind a load balancer – and as the shibboleth SP needs to run on each server behind the load balancer, you need to look at clustering it so each server has the same software/config and knows about the load balancer if you want to share the login status etc.
Unless I’m missing something?

But what I am insterested is not to cluster the Shib SP(this is for high availability for the SP). The service in my environment is clustered and I wounder how I should use Shiboleth here. Makes sense?

Hard to improve the documentation based solely on vague statements
about it being confusing. Edits are always welcome, of course, it's a
wiki.
