Okay, let me see if I have this completely understood :)
- LVS uses Ldirectord for load balancing among the "real servers"
- heartbeat is used by systems configured in a redundant/failover
configuration to monitor each other
So, for the failover side of LVS, I need

- heartbeat
Do I need anything else, like Fake, or Failoverd? Or are these funtionalities
accounted for in heartbeat?
