I have a production LVS server running with 3 real servers handling
SMTP, POP3, IMAP for our QMAIL server. We process about a million
inbound connections a day. I've never had the primary LVS server crash
but I have shut it down on purpose (yanked the power cord) to test the
fail over. Everything worked perfectly.
