Hi, I was interested in setting up LVS-NAT with keepalived for a redundant setup. All of the documentation recommends one director designated as master and one as backup. However, I was wondering if there is an issue having both as backup, the reasons for this configuration being 1) that config can be synced between the two directors, and 2) that if the master goes down and comes backup, it would not mean that the master would then take over again. I have read having the same priority could result in a race condition, but wouldn't this be very unlikely, since it would require both to come up at exactly the same time. I have not found any one else with such a setup, and all documentation says there has to be a master and backup with different priorities, so I want to be careful that I haven't missed something. It seems to work ok in practise so far though.
Anyone have any good reasons why this should not be done?
