My advice is: keep it simple, and build from that. Get yourself one director and one realserver. Make sure that you can do the ipvsadm stuff *by hand* on the director before moving towards keepalived, ldirectord, heartbeat, mon, ultramonkey et al to produce a fully load-balanced+HA solution. Remember the following general points: 1. The realservers can't be clients of the LVS. 2. The director can't be a client of the LVS. 3. Any clients *should* - unless you have a very specific need otherwise - be on a different IP subnet to your realservers, ideally on a different LAN segment. The first two points are very specific, and complex to work around. The third one is a generalisation applicable to LVS-NAT and can be worked around by forcing them to only talk via the director. How have you got on so far?
