Yes, ipvsadm can synchronize the connections table between active and passive
servers.
In /etc/ipvsadm.rules, add the following on the active server:
--start-daemon master --syncid 11
--start-daemon backup --syncid 10
And the same, with reverse weights, on the passive server:
--start-daemon master --syncid 10
--start-daemon backup --syncid 11
This will allow bi-directional synchronization between active and passive LVS
servers.
HOWEVER - there is a caveat here; the connection synchronization occurs only
when a connection is made or updated. So in a scenario where one of the servers
is rebooted for whatever reason, you will not be able to do automatic failback
since the connections table will be out of sync, and there is no way (that I am
aware of) of forcing a sync. You will need to wait for the connections table to
synchronize (the time it takes should be equal to the timeout settings of
ipvsadm) before you can perform a failback.

Subject: Re: [lvs-users] Connection Synchronisation for HA
Thanks for the information.
What you mean to say is that, we can synchronise the connections between
*virtual/firewall* servers only and not between *application* servers.
i.e, servers which acts as intermediate between two machines (client &
internet) and which just forwards the request from one to another server.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
