Current Umbraco recommendation for load-balanced environment for admin and content creators is to use just ONE of the instances at a time (http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/installing-umbraco-for-load-balanced-environments), otherwise known issues can occur. Becomes more of an issue when a site has a bunch of content creators.

Initial thought is that guidance would be to deploy a single instance of the umbraco accelerator with site name of admin.mysite.com that is configured to use the same DB, blob storage, etc. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if this would work correctly as Umbraco uses is own system of web services to update caches properly on other servers, etc. Could be as simple as making adjustments to config files, but would require more investigation.
