This is a good solution but for configurations with one standalone
LVS box. To support other LVS boxes which can take control when the main
LVS box is down You have to change /etc/ethers each time in the router and
in the all possible hosts on the LAN which can talk to VIP. For real
servers without this feature (arp_invisible), i.e. non-Linux boxes, which
always reply to "who-has VIP tell ME" may be this is the only solution -
to feed all routers and other hosts on the LAN with permanent ARP entries
and to change them when the current LVS box is changed. Not so easy :)
