Re: sharing client user name and password
I'd set up a shared LDAP server which stores all passwords; the downside is that if the LDAP server is down none of the servers can connect; an alternative solution is to set up a password file (either use pam + an /etc/shadow file or brew something yourself) and then replicate and sync that password DB across the three servers using rsync.

Re: sharing client user name and password
you can do this using your existing VPS servers: for LDAP , assign one of them to be the LDAP server also.
when using pam+passwords : rsync the password files across all three servers
when using a home-brewn solution : idem dito.
No need to purchase anything
