Our current configuration is configured using ldirectord. The active node hosts all the virtual servers. Each virtual server will have an active real server, and a backup real server. All the traffic will be directed to the active real server, unless that server becomes unreachable, at which point all traffic will be directed to the backup server. In other words, a traditional real/fallback system. I am however only able to get piranha/lvs to do load sharing. In this case as long as both servers are set to UP, then traffic will be balanced between all servers (determined by load balancing scheme and weighting.) What I am attempting to do is create a virtual server in LVS, which has two active REAL servers, however direct traffic only to one of them, unless otherwise directed or if the active member fail, then direct traffic to the backup. I am basically trying to replicate the ldirectord/heartbeat system with piranha/lvs/pulse. Any directions which can be offered would be great appreciated.</DIV> <DIV align=left>Regards, Sean </DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV align=left>Regards, Sean ____________________________________ Sean Drill Network Administrator - Network Services <A href="http://www.westnet.com.au/"><IMG alt=Westnet hspace=0 src="cid:187393305@09032009-11B4" align=baseline vspace=8 border=0></A> Westnet - Voted Number 1 ISP in Customer Satisfaction six years running Phone: (08) 9218 2600 Fax: (08) 9218 2666 <A href="http://www.westnet.com.au/">Westnet Home</A> | <A href="http://www.mywestnet.com.au/">MyWestnet</A> | <A href="http://www.westnet.com.au/contact/">Contact Us</A> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
