I believe I may not have explained myself quite clearly, so I will attempt to explain this better.
Our current configuration is configured using ldirectord. The active node hosts all the virtual servers. Each virtual server will have an active real server, and a backup real server. All the traffic will be directed to the active real server, unless that server becomes unreachable, at which point all traffic will be directed to the backup server. I am however only able to get piranha/lvs to do load sharing. In this case as long as both servers are set to UP, then traffic will be balanced between all servers (determined by load balancing scheme and weighting.) What I am attempting to do is create a virtual server in LVS, which has two active REAL servers, however direct traffic only to one of them, unless otherwise directed or if the active member fail, then direct traffic to the backup. I hope this is a little clearer Regards - Sean -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sebastian Vieira Sent: Wednesday, 4 March 2009 4:11 PM To: LinuxVirtualServer.org users mailing list.
