I had the similar question. It looks like SoftEther has few limitations when clustering is enabled. But, if I set up this as a standalone mode, I get amazed by the list of features it supports.
So, I thought why to use clustering? Can't I use LVS to do the load balancing then use the HA and Keepalive with it. I started setting this up and I was use to set up LVS with real servers hosting VPN service. It was working fine. But, looks like LVS Direct Routing is not supported by AWS. So, I got stuck again.

Re: Building VPN Cluster
to your solution with LVS-DR. Are you hosting several VPN Servers with different virtual hubs? Or how do you manage the that the right user comes to the right server where his credentials are?
I'm working on a project for failover and load balancing with SoftEther together with OpenVPN clients.
I would like to share the experiences.

AWS Route53 weighted round robin will do the load balancing just fine. If you want to configure for failover, you will need AWS Cloudwatch to check for downtime on the particular record and disable it. So when disconnected, they will try reconnecting and get the IP that works.

Extremely off topic but you might want to check NAT. Do you have a NAT software installed or did you turn on SecureNAT or did you bridge your VPN server to your network?
