    As I understand you want to publish single stream to multiple server, so that you can load balance the subscribers..

    So the answer is .. that this is possible with FMS.. FMS provides ways to scale you infrastructure.. So you might use "Multi-point publishing feature" of the FMS. This feature allows you to forward your RTMP streams from one FMS server to another FMS server..

    You may find the useful link here : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d56e-7ffb.html

    There is another way to publish the same stream to two server.. From FMLE, you can publish the same stream to at most 2 server.. In FMS you can simultaneously connect to at max two servers.. There are two connection URL edit boxes " FMS URL, and Backup URL" You may provide both for two different FMS servers..

    Let me know does the information help.. It would be really good if you can elaborate your use case.. because just for the purpose of scaling.. there are multiple options, like edge-origin server topology, DVRCast or live cast set-up, multipoint-point publishing etc.. But what to use actually depends upon the use case...

    Like Nitin said - it would be better if you can just brief your use case. It all depends on what you end up using for scalability.
