I've not done it with LEAF, but I have set up a cluster before.
The cluster used a Linux Cluster Director with Piranha, and
had three cluster nodes: a Linux node, a FreeBSD node, and an OpenBSD
node.
Of the three, only Linux required kernel patches and/or extra (unused!)
hardware to function correctly. BSD works just fine without any
changes to the stock kernel beyond enabling the appropriate number of
loopback network connections - and FreeBSD comes entirely ready to go.
It all revolves around what does this mean:
ifconfig eth0 -arp
For clustering to work, there must be NO ARPs coming from the
interface; BSD does this, the stock Linux kernel does not - even
with this command. Check the LVS site for more information about
this controversy (!) and the kernel discussions about it.
