I have recently set up a two-node cluster, both servers configured
identically, both handling HTTP, HTTPS and FTP connections over LVS.
Both machines are capable of playing the role of LVS director, but only
one is active at once. Monitoring of real servers is done with Mon.

Files are on a DRBD device, which is exported over NFS. Failover of LVS
(VIP + rules), DRBD, NFS and MySQL (also on DRBD) is handled by
Heartbeat. Works like a charm!!

The information on http://www.linux-ha.org/DRBD/NFS was extremely useful.

Best regards,
