I can't comment on the "what it might have done in the olden days" part, but you could bind all your VIPs to the loopback adapter and have fallback services run exactly as you'd expect (I think). A little bit, in fact, like the realservers have to be setup in a -DR configuration. It's perfectly alright to have the VIP on a real ethernet interface *and* lo. I know this is alright, because it's how we do streamlined HA +LB here for our virtual learning environment :) Graeme _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [email protected] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
