Hello all,

I have an Active/Passive configuration that I have
been trying to get working that is very frustrating.
This may have already been answered somewhere, and if
so, just point me to the place.

Overview:
I have a system (PUBLIC_WEB) with a public viewable IP
address (128.249.65.X) that runs a web service. I have
a VMware Host on another system with a public viewable
address (VMWARE_HOST) (128.249.65.X) that contains a
virtual system (VIRT_PUBLIC_WEB) with a private ip
(172.30.10.X). 
I want the virtual system (VIRT_PUBLIC_WEB) with the
private IP (172.30.10.X) to provide simple failover
for the public system (PUBLIC_WEB).
I have this working with another node, but in that
case both nodes are on the private ip (172.30.10.X),
so I know it is possible for VMware virtual systems to
act as failover devices.

In all cases the host files are correct, the ha.cf
files match as do the haresources files. All systems
can ping one another. I am using heartbeat v2, but
configured as a v1 (no crm or anything fancy).

Questions:
First of all, is it possible for a heartbeat node on
one net to failover and assume a different nets
address. That seems to be the hangup here. 
If anyone else has done a setup like this I would
appreciate some assistance.

Second, might it be a routing issue? Each system can
ping across its net to the other, but does heartbeat
have its own way of doing things that may not include
using the standard linux net tools?

When the master node (PUBLIC_WEB) is taken down, the
virtual system (VIRT_PUBLIC_WEB) detects it and craps
out running the resource.d/IPaddr <ip address> start.

Any help would be appreciated. Once I have been
assured that this configuration is possible, I will
post any config files that are needed to help me fix
this problem. 

Many Thank In Advance.
