I believe you will want them clustered with some kind of load balancing.

should i make a change at drupal core system, or codes to obtain a load balanced website?

Load balancing is entirely external to Drupal.

Drupal is designed to support multiple servers. Drupal.org actually runs on multiple webservers.

PHP sessions are stored in the database. You can have as many webservers as you want, talking to a database cluster. If you allow file uploads, you'll need to share a filesystem through NFS, et cetera.

See http://drupal.org/files/issues/Drupal.org-Architecture.pdf

yelvington and Verymisunderstood thousand times thank you for your shares.
Drupal.org Architecture is a great source i am getting deep into it and reading book Pro Drupal ... now.
I am 1 year+ community member but first drupal installation was only 2 weeks ago.
Architecture pages increased my hope for the future of this community and drupal sites.
Hope one day i ll do exactly what you -guys- do for other people at this community.
