LVS or Failover : OpenAIS & Pacemaker

[Nicolas Ferragu]

Hello Bob,

Not sure LVS can do it well without director and even with director 
regarding the mailings lists and its maturity.
Any cluster solution like Pacemaker won't tread your persistents 
connections.

I may invite you to consider HA proxy, which can do layer 4 & 7 HA.
