Did you take a look at the keepalived documentation? http://keepalived.sourceforge.net/documentation.html All you have to do is patch your kernel with LVS or use the appropriate netfilter-ipvs-modules, compile and install keepalived and configure it according to the documentation and/or your special requirements. Now you can (should) test all possible failover scenarios with your balancer-cluster and check if the real-server are added and removed from the pool correctly. A web server itself doesn't need any special configuration at all (well, maybe a little routing/firewalling if you choose to use direct-routing or tunneling instead of NAT behind your balancer) and can be integrated in the cluster within a few minutes. best regards, Markus -- Markus Oswald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ Unix and Network Administration Graz, AUSTRIA \ High Availability / Cluster Mobile: +43 676 6485415 \ System Consulting Fax: +43 316 428896 \ Web Development -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
